Shadows falling upon the wall
Come the evening time
I was fine in the daylight hours
But when it's later my
Melancholy has got the best of me
Till I'm lonesome crying
I'ma toast to my long gone friend tonight

Let's have one for the road
Imagining the way it was
Drink to my solitude
I'm only ever thinking of
You, yeah
You're only ever brought to mind
When I'm in that mood
Twenty-seven past midnight

And in lieu of any company
I'm talking to the moon
Reminiscing 'bout the good old days
Like a drunken fool
And if Heaven had a telephone
Then I'd call you to
Let you know that I raised my glass to you

Let's have one for the road
Imagining the way it was
Drink to my solitude
I'm only ever thinking of
You, yeah
You're only ever brought to mind
When I'm in that mood
Twenty-seven past midnight
