Lyrics

Lately I’m thinking about everyone gone,
Mother, brother, old lovers and friends
How I’ll feel so alone when I pick up the phone
And there’s nobody there telling me to come home
Lately I’m thinking about everyone gone…
Lately I’m thinking ‘bout you.

You were the one who knew when to call
You were the light at the end of the hall
I’m here in the dark with all my old fears
And a worn out postcard sayin’ “Wish you were here”
Lately I’m thinking about everyone gone,
Lately I’m thinking about you.

Last walk, thru the rain
Last wave from the back of the train
Last time we said goodbye
Last time, we laughed till we cried

I still remember the words that we spat,
Brittle and angry - a full on attack
As the years ran away, we forgot what to say
And tonight it’s too late to take anything back
Lately I’m thinking of everyone gone
Lately I’m thinking ‘bout you.

Last dance, last call
Last stand before the fall,
Last slam of the bedroom door
Last truce, we called in this war
You’re a few short lines in the back of the Times
From newsprint to ashes, one day at a time
Strike a deal with the Devil, pray to God or connive
But nobody here ever gets out alive
Lately I’m thinking about everyone gone
Lately I’m thinking ‘bout you,

Last wish, last star,
Last kiss on the hood of the car,
Last song on your old guitar….
Lately I’m thinking about you…
