[Verse 1]
Goodbye, my friend, I hate to see you go
You brought me down a star
The last one in the world
I hear you cry, but let's not waste this night
The last one in the world
[Verse 2]
From within your lonely room
I hear you whisper, "See you soon"
I sense a dying spark
And watch you falling through the dark
[Verse 3]
Goodbye, my friend, thank you for the dream
The last one in the world
I hear you cry, but let's not waste this night
The last one in the world
[Verse 4]
And I listen to you call
I hardly hear you at all
Gonna walk the quiet night
Watch the river rolling by
[Coda]
The last one in the world
The last one in the world
The last one in the world
The last one in the world
