It's Gotten Late and Now I Want to Be Alone. 
All of Our Friends Were Here, They All Have Gone Home. 
And Here I Sit On the Front Porch, 
Watching the Drunks Stumble Forth Into the Night.

You Gave Me a Heart Attack -- I Did Not See You There. 
I Thought You Had Disappeared So Early Away From Here. 
And This Is the Chance I Never Got 
To Make a Move, But We Just Talk About...

The People We Have Met in the Last Five Years, 
And Will We Remember Them in Ten More? 
I Let You Bum a Smoke, You Quit This Winter Past. 
I've Tried Twice Before, But Like This, It Just Will Not Last.
