One Last Night at the Blue Anchor

Lyrics

Twenty years since the lights went down
Five old friends in a little town
Dusty case and a tuning fork
Phone call came, and we said we'd talk

Bass man's hair has turned to snow
Drummer's hands are a little slow
But the count-in came, one two three
And the room remembered you and me

One last night at the Blue Anchor
Band back together, play it louder
Same old tune and a brand new sky
Let the years go dancing by
One last night, we're all still here
Raise a glass and play it clear

Trumpet shines like it used to do
Sax man grins, and he's late, it's true
Piano walks in, takes the key
Like no time passed for you and me

One last night at the Blue Anchor
Band back together, play it louder
Same old tune and a brand new sky
Let the years go dancing by
One last night, we're all still here
Raise a glass and play it clear

We don't need a crowd tonight
Just the lamp and the amber light
Every note is a hand held tight
Friends who come back make it right

One last night at the Blue Anchor
Band back together, play it louder
Same old tune and a brand new sky
Let the years go dancing by
One last night, we're all still here
Raise a glass and play it clear

One last night, and the music stays
Play it slow for the good old days
