The Merlin Cafe is empty |
| [00:33.000] |
Save for a drunk or two |
| [00:36.000] |
The waitress is waiting on going |
| [00:39.000] |
And I've quit waiting on you |
| [00:41.000] |
Midnight lovers are all the same |
| [00:45.000] |
We dream in impossible ways |
| [00:48.000] |
In the fading light we come alive and hide away from the days |
| [00:59.000] |
A song will last forever |
| [01:02.590] |
A single dream goes forward |
| [01:06.000] |
Loneliness strips you down to the bone and that's when you know who you are |
| [01:12.000] |
Cause you feel depressed for choosing |
| [01:15.000] |
A night instead of day |
| [01:18.000] |
It's never just a case of losing but throwing it all away |
| [01:35.000] |
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day |
| [01:41.000] |
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away |
| [02:25.000] |
The joker in his reverie |
| [02:28.000] |
Takes another glass of wine |
| [02:31.000] |
The poet watches carefully |
| [02:35.000] |
And writes another line |
| [02:38.000] |
The joker's just a dreamer |
| [02:40.000] |
Who got lost along the way |
| [02:43.000] |
And dreamers can be poets in this crazy cabaret |
| [02:54.000] |
I remember an old man passing |
| [02:58.000] |
His time was slipping away |
| [03:01.000] |
I was holding his hand and waiting |
| [03:04.000] |
Cause there was something he wanted to say |
| [03:07.000] |
He said "Friends, in times of trouble, they are the hardest to find" |
| [03:14.000] |
"Hold onto them forever and leave the rest behind" |
| [03:31.000] |
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day |
| [03:37.000] |
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away |
