Can’t you hear the whistle blow, when it’s moanin’ soft & low,
And it blends with the whipporwill’s call?
We’ll all be comin’ home, no more for us to roam,
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.

The sun is goin’ in, but after night, it shines again,
And the ghosts don’t seem scary after all.
A heart that’s left behind, is the only kind you’ll find,
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.

Line up to take the cure, ‘cause it’s a waltz-time for sure,
And we’ll dance away the falters and the falls.
The losers sometimes win,
As the mem’ries come floodin’ in,
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.

Instrumental verse

Line up to take the cure, ‘cause it’s a waltz-time for sure,
And we’ll dance away the falters and the falls.
The losers sometimes win,
As the mem’ries come floodin’ in,
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.

You can roll away the stone, but you’ll still go home alone,
When the bartender cries out, “Last call.”
We’re all just long-lost friends,
Cause we’ll meet here once again,
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.
At the Last Dance, Second Chance Ball.
