Where have they gone,
These friends that I loved
Who over the years meant so much to me?
Their faces drift by as I wait by the door
Of the Last Music Company
Hoping and watching for them to appear
I am lost in the sweet mist of memory
Time stands as still as a night with no moon
At the Last Music Company

My friends and my family
Still hold up my heart
As each loss brings my world to it’s knees
And I seek out a refuge
In the workshop of song
At the Last Music Company

I have worked at this table
With many a good friend
Catching up as we partnered a new melody
With a story in rhyme
That might make it some time
To the Last Music Company
There’s no distance that love can’t erase
In a lifetime of memories
I’ve carved out a place
To remember your voice
And the smile on your face
At the Last Music Company

Where do we go when we come to the end
Of the pathway laid out for you and me?
May we summon the courage
And grace for to face
The Last Music Company
There’s no distance that love can’t erase
In a lifetime of memories
I’ve carved out a place
To remember your voice
And the smile on your face
At the Last Music Company

Where have they gone,
These friends that I loved
Who over the years meant so much to me?
I’ll remember your voice
And the smile on your face
At the Last Music Company

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Hold Our Ground CD.
