Elton John - Someone's Final Song lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album blue moves<br><br>He died when the house was empty<br>When the maid had gone<br>He put a pen to paper for one final song<br>He wrote -<br>Oh babe, it's the only way<br>I know it's wrong but I can't stand<br>To go on living, to go on living, living life this way<br><br>And I don't know what the time is<br>Or what the next line is<br>Or how you're going to take the news<br>But if I had my life again<br>I wouldn't change a thing<br>I'd let nobody, I'd let nobody<br>Stand inside my shoes<br><br>Something's gotten hold of me<br>This home is not the home it used to be<br>I've gathered dust like the dying flowers<br>And I've drunk myself sober<br>After hours and hours<br><br>After hours and hours
