John K. Samson - The Last And lyrics

So I'm the first one in again With the quiet and the window growing snow. When I hear the furnace rouse itself From its slumber, somehow suddenly I know As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan That I'm just your little ampersand When your voice springs from the intercom With announcements and reminders and prayer I remember how you made me feel I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare But like the jokes about my figure Kids think I don't understand I know I'm just your little ampersand. After Christmas holiday you never asked to drive me home again Sometimes in the staff room I'd catch your eye with "why'd it have to end" But I know from how you worry at your wedding band That I'm just your little ampersand The last conjunction after every other and I was just your little ampersand.
