From the recording Fountain of Love
Lyrics
Last Man Standing
In the late summer’s evening
on this old whitewash porch
your old chair is rocking in the breeze
just a rocking back and forth
And I still see you like you are here
that old chair serves to remind
you are staring out over the pasture
into the forest of dark pines
It goes beyond your understanding
when you’re the last man standing
You would shake your head laughing
some family story that I’d get wrong
now there’s no one left here it seems
to keep the memories true and strong
it goes beyond your understanding
when you’re the last one standing
so throw your seeds
where they will grow
take your love and let it show
make your net widely cast
take your drink and make it last
make it last….
it goes beyond your understanding
when you’re the last one standing
I knelt and prayed beside your bed
when the final words were said
you whispered Jesus is waiting for me
gonna break these chains and set me free
It goes beyond your understanding
when you are the last one standing…
