The Last Clean Glass

[Intro]
[Verse]
The clock strikes two
The lights are blue
I’m wiping down the oak
Beyond the velvet smoke
The rain begins to tap
A soft and steady rap
Against the window pane
To wash away the stain
[Chorus]
So pour another slow one
There’s nowhere left to go, hon
Just you and me and the dust
In a world we used to trust
The ice begins to melt
Like every card we dealt
In this quiet little place
I see a familiar face
[Hook]
Ba-da-ba-doo-way
Shoo-be-do-zay
Zah-dee-dah-day
Smooth and easy
Just like that
[Verse]
Remember July sun?
When we were on the run
A girl in yellow lace
I can’t recall her face
But I remember the heat
And the rhythm of the street
A cold glass of lime
Stopping all of time
[Chorus]
So pour another slow one
There’s nowhere left to go, hon
Just you and me and the dust
In a world we used to trust
The ice begins to melt
Like every card we dealt
In this quiet little place
I see a familiar face
[Post-Chorus]
Scoo-bee-doo-wop
Don't ever stop
Let the rhythm flow
Nice and slow
[Bridge]
The sax starts to moan
We’re never quite alone
With shadows on the floor
Who could ask for more?
Life is in the small things
The song a cricket sings
The way the neon glows
Heaven only knows
[Verse]
You’re still sitting there
With silver in your hair
You give a little grin
Where do we begin?
The bottle’s almost dry
Under a charcoal sky
But we’ve got stories left
Of love and minor theft
[Chorus]
So pour another slow one
There’s nowhere left to go, hon
Just you and me and the dust
In a world we used to trust
The ice begins to melt
Like every card we dealt
In this quiet little place
I see a familiar face
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-dap-bap-bay
Another day
Fades away
Into the blue
Just me and you
[Outro]
