lyrics
(a sax warms up in the back) (mm-hmm) The waiters stack the chairs at two But leave our candle burning slow The harbour fog rolls in on cue It knows a scene, it steals the show (steals the show) One more song before the lights (one more, one more) Your smile has somewhere warm to be Stay for the last song, love (the last song) Stay for the last song, love The sax has one truth left to tell Stay for the last song, love (stay, stay) Stay for the last song, love And then I'll walk you home as well Two glasses sweating on the wood Red wine low, the hour late The pianist saw, he understood He's played us since half past eight (mm, since half past eight) Stay for the last song, love (the last song) Stay for the last song, love The sax has one truth left to tell Stay for the last song, love (stay, stay) Stay for the last song, love And then I'll walk you home as well When the last note lands, stay still (stay still) Some things applause would only spill Stay for the last song, love (the last song) Stay for the last song, love The sax has one truth left to tell Stay for the last song, love (stay, stay) Stay for the last song, love And then I'll walk you home as well (rain on the awning) Stay... (the last song)
