Story Behind The Song
This was written all in one sitting in the attic of my first apartment in Boston. This was recorded in one go, live, with a quick harmonica overdub. In the third verse you can hear the low hum of a train whistle....a commuter rail passing by the studio while we were recording.

Lyrics
Final hour, final day
Final flower, final rain
Another lover, waiting on another who ain?t never coming home
Another woman, another ghost to me
Final hour, final day
Another battle, lost along the way
Another preacher, saying all that you ever knew is not real
The final spark before the darkness breaks
(bridge)
Final hour, final day
Final words that I could never say
Final love that they can never take away
Oh flesh and bone, another stone, hanging over me
