about

The final gig of a dying musician.

lyrics

I walk the stage for one more time alive,
My ashes will scatter here when I die,
I can see the smiles and tears through walls of rain,
Can't show expectant eyes my fear and pain.
There are not more rehearsals, it's the final curtain call, raise the lights.

Oh, child that watches through my watering eyes,
In wonderment and pride and with surprise,
Could only have dreamt this could all come true.
The cycle is complete, farewell to you.
There are not more rehearsals, it's the final curtain call, raise the lights.

Not one moment was in vain as the love cut through the rain,
Nor any person I inspired, enthusiasm that I fired
I clear the stage for one last time and look back with gentle pride.

The old Strat' fits my body better now,
I strike a chord and tremble with the sound.
Tones they bounce from tree to tower to hill.
If you close your eyes you'll hear them echo still..................
