Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

The Last One To Know

Last One To Know

I parked out in the parking lot
and I walked in the door.
I saw you dancing there with him.
What the hell am I here for?

I stepped up to the bar
there's so much more to realize.
As I looked at the bartender
and as he hid his eyes.

I turned away to look away
but every where I looked I see.
Peoples embarrassed glances
looking back at me.

The music changed its tempo.
and you both started dancing slow.
While the whole world just sat staring
at the last one on earth to know.

There were no words for me to say.
I didn't know what I should think.
I ordered up a double
and I drank it in one drink.

As I drove away that night
with just the radio to remind me.
Of everything I never had
and how I left it all behind me.

I can't forget where all I've been
I'm not sure where I'll go.
It seems I'm clinging to the hope
you'll be the last to know.
