最後のデート、最後のドライブ、最後の食事

トッドラングレンの歌に「これが最後のドライブ、ちっぽけな夢は終わったんだ」という曲があった。
これは青年期の失恋ソングなんだけど、名曲。

だれにでも経験はあるだろう。最後のデート、ドライブ、食事。ああ、これが最後なんだなあ、ってわかってしまう瞬間。
そして多分、もう二度と会うことのない人に、また今度行きましょう、と約束するのって悲しいよね。お互いにもう会うことはないってわかっているのにさ。

It's the last ride
Our little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take you home
And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
It's a dangerous drive
I'm afraid to arrive
But I strive to survive
More a fool than alive
I thought I knew just everything
I had it made and I could coast
But I turned away love when I needed it most
It's the last ride
My little game is over

It's the last ride
It's time to take me home
And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
And the road rolls around
And turns through the town
The depression drips down
And glazes the ground
Horizons east and skylines west
The moon, the sun, and all the rest
The loving son, the faithful wife
The burnt out wreck of a poor man's life
The father, son, and holy ghost
They all turned away love when they needed it most

It's the last ride
Their little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take them home
And they can't cry 'cause they seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
