Last Song You Played

2. LAST SONG YOU PLAYED © D Cox/J Plankenhorn

Well I heard, you left the other day
And I wondered, what was the last song you played
When you put that guitar down, did you know that you were done?
Did you consciously decide it was the last thing you would strum

And when your time came, when your time came
Did you know it’d be the last song you played?

Last time, we picked a tune
We were Too Tall Ken Hall and D.C. in a funky Sayward room
Yeah we played for each other, all the joy that we did share
We didn’t even care if anyone else was there

And when your time came, when your time came
Did you know it’d be the last song you played?

When I called we kept it light,
we shot the breeze about guitars,
Our children, our houses and our cars
And it was so hard to hear
Aw the secret that you’d been keeping
You were short on time
but you were gracious as you’d ever been

And when your time came, when your time came
Did you know it’d be the last song you played?

Well I heard, you left the other day
And I wondered, what was the last song you played
When you put that guitar down, did you know that you were done?
Did you consciously decide it was the last thing you would strum
And when your time came, when your time came
Did you know it’d be the last song you played?
