Kris Kristofferson - The Last Thing to Go lyrics

The angels were singing a sad country song It sounded like something of yours With a conscience as clear as the tear in your eye And a heart beaten golden and pure And I felt all the feelings we set down in song Torn from the body and soul And the fortunes that faded like stars into daylight And tear drops we turned into gold Every hard rocking wreck on the highway Every heartbroken rule of the road Every true thing we wrote on the wind is still singing Love is the last thing to go Love is the reason we happened at all And it paid for the damage we done And it bought us the freedom to fall into grace On our way to our place in the sun Every hard rocking wreck on the highway Every heartbroken rule of the road Every true thing we wrote on the wind is still singing Love is the last thing to go
