Toast on the Last Bus Home

Lyrics

Late bus home from the wedding hall
Tie hanging loose, shoes in my hand
I gave the toast with a shaking voice
Now the glass is fogged and I understand
Everybody danced till the lights came up
Cake on my sleeve, confetti in my hair
Back seat quiet, the rain taps slow
Somebody's love is still in the air

Whisper it soft, whisper it low
Some things only the late bus knows

Toast to the ones who stay
Toast to the rain on the way
Late bus humming, window gray
I'm sending love the quiet way
Toast to the ones who stay
Falsetto in the fog, I say
Here's to the love that finds a way
On the last bus home today

Words I wrote on a napkin crumpled
Read them out and my hands went cold
But she cried and he laughed in the glow
And I felt something warm unfold
Now I'm one more passenger drifting
Stars of confetti stuck to my coat
Driver turns the heater higher
Soft little song in his throat

Whisper it soft, whisper it low
Some things only the late bus knows

Toast to the ones who stay
Toast to the rain on the way
Late bus humming, window gray
I'm sending love the quiet way
Toast to the ones who stay
Falsetto in the fog, I say
Here's to the love that finds a way
On the last bus home today

Maybe someday it's my turn
Rings and rain and a promise made
Till then I'll ride, and hold the glass
And wish them well till the colors fade

Toast to the ones who stay
Toast to the rain on the way
Late bus humming, window gray
I'm sending love the quiet way
Toast to the ones who stay
Falsetto in the fog, I say
Here's to the love that finds a way
On the last bus home today

Here's to love
Soft and slow
