A modern murder ballad.

lyrics

Last Waltz
©1997 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Somebody hold my baby's hand
Before she slips away
Because when she turned to another man
Delivered us judgment day

CHORUS
It won't be long
It won't be long
Before we finally dance the LAST WALTZ

I broke my hunger strike
To slip you past my lips
We could start a fire baby
Just by rubbing sticks

CHORUS

Did you ever think that we would one day come to this
Fill your cup with one last pint of everlasting bliss

Throw another bone on the fire
These are our last rites
The prettiest funeral pyre
To last a thousand nights

CHORUS

Did you ever think that we would one day come to this
Standing opposite, our eyes cast down into the abyss

Somebody hold my baby's hand
Before she slips away…
