Whatever Comes Next

John

Adult contemporary, a song about the closing of the local bar as a metaphor for dying. My lyrics, ai demo.
My lyrics:

This tavern’s been open for all of my life
But it called last orders tonight
Can’t believe that it’s come to an end
This old place was like a good friend

I listen to people say it’s for the best
As the band plays final requests
I wonder if I will miss the old place
As much as I’ll miss the old faces

People come in and out of the door
In this life only one thing’s for sure

When the lights go down forever
And all these people have left
You’ll be going to a new destination
To whatever it is that comes next

And so the night draws to a close
All the farewells and crying are done
I shake hands with the guys in the band
Then I step through that door and I’m gone

People come in and out of the door
In this life only one thing’s for sure

When the lights go down forever
And all the people have left
You’ll be going to a new destination
To whatever it is that comes next
Yeh, whatever it is that comes next
