As the long dark clouds are pierced by the light
And as you settle in for this long, lonely night
And I begin to fade from your memory's sight
Give me one more for the road.
As the inevitable draws near
And as the minutes and days disappear
And I give in to our greatest fears
Give me one more for the road.
*And let me in to your soul
Watch my feet turn to stone
Try to hold myself up against your door
Instead, collapsing onto your floor
The only thing to save me is your smile.*
As you rise in the east, and I set in the west
And as I brace myself in for my long, lonely rest
And I give in to this, my final test
Give me one more for the road.
As whatever's right seems to go wrong
And as the seconds keep ticking along
And rhyme and melody fade from this song
Give me one more for the road.
*So let me in, into your soul
Feel my wings turn to gold
Flying in through your door
Finally landing on your floor
One last time to see your smile.*
Let's have one more for the road.
