Death Took The Last Stool

Intro He took the stool the night left empty

Verse 1 Didn't order, didn't have to Barman poured him out of habit Set it down without a word Like he'd always meant to have it The neon buzzed and gave up trying Chairs went up on every table He just turned his collar down And stayed as long as I was able

Pre-Chorus The clock gave up its hands And nobody else still stands

Chorus Death took the last stool beside me Lights went amber, lights went low Bought no round, he came to settle And he ain't the kind to go

Verse 2 He don't gloat and he don't hurry Knows the door locks all the same Asked me how I liked the evening Asked if I recalled his name I told him I'd been waiting tables For a tab nobody paid He just smiled into his collar Said the room was nearly made

Pre-Chorus The clock gave up its hands And nobody else still stands

Chorus Death took the last stool beside me Lights went amber, lights went low Bought no round, he came to settle And he ain't the kind to go

Bridge They all went home to someone warm Left their glasses, left the chairs I'm the one who closes places I'm the one nobody spares Death took the last stool beside me Lights went amber, lights went low Bought no round, he came to settle And he ain't the kind to go

Outro And he ain't the kind to go
