I found your note by the screen door Creased up soft, coffee stain and all One little line in your blue ink Felt like a drum inside the wall Your shoes still by the kitchen mat Your coat still hooked on the nail But there was one last page on the table And it read like a train outta town I traced that line with my thumb Smiled at the hurt, let it hum If this is where the story bends Baby, I know how it ends Last page of you Last page of you I turned it slow And I came out new Last page of you Last page of you Ain't that a blaze That can bring me through I took that page to the corner bar Laid it down by the sugar jar Old Slim said, son, keep your head up Even a hard rain clears the yard So I drank to the shape of your name Let the big wheel roll me home By midnight I was singing louder Than I ever sang alone I traced that line with my thumb Smiled at the hurt, let it hum If this is where the story bends Baby, I know how it ends Last page of you Last page of you I turned it slow And I came out new Last page of you Last page of you Ain't that a blaze That can bring me through Now the moon's hanging low over Halsted And my boots got a little more sway You closed the book, but you missed one thing I can keep on turning the page Last page of you Last page of you I turned it slow And I came out new Last page of you Last page of you Ain't that a blaze That can bring me through Yeah, the last page of you Left a spark in my hands The last page of you Made a man outta a wreck of plans
