For the Last Time - Chris Murray

like the foolish man

who built his house upon the sand

I have made my plan

where the waves crash and nothing lasts

stood knee-deep and watched it wash away

for the last time

as tomorrow is left behind

dreamed a dream to see it fade away

for the last time

as the wind blows

as seasons change, as water flows

as the sunset glows

the silence speaks what no man knows

so we say goodbye to next time

for the last time

'til the next time

you’ve changed your mind

like there never was a last time

for the hundredth time

for the last time

through the narrow gate

let each man walk towards his fate

and carve his wake

of moments passed and choices made

so we wander on through this time

for the last time

to the next time

from times before

shall we say goodbye to last times

for the last time
