Last Stop Before Home - Rosanne Cash

I am the keeper of a very old flame

It’s long been ignored, but it’s not been completely in vain

And all that I was, I gave that to you

And if it’s not enough, oh, there’s nothing more I can do

I guard the well to a century of tears

I let them fall after hours and all through the years

And all that I am as I stand here today

Seems more than enough, there’s nothing more I will say

You’re the last stop before home

An' I always go home

You’re the last stop and everything I know

That I always go home

Instrumental break

I’m not the sleeper who waits for a kiss

But who is the God who designed me to love you like this?

An' if I break in two and fall to my knees

An' tell you the truth, would you then believe you have been this to me

The last stop before home

An' I always go home

You’re the last stop and everything I know

That I always go home

You’re the last stop before home

An' I always go home alone
