[00:23.24]It  s nine o  clock on a Saturday
[00:26.14]
[00:28.45]The regular crowd shuffles in
[00:30.19]
[00:31.57]There  s an old man sitting next to me
[00:34.69]
[00:35.75]Makin   love to his tonic and gin
[00:38.37]
[00:49.98]He says    Son   can you play me a melody?
[00:54.10]I  m not really sure how it goes
[00:57.11]
[00:58.23]But it  s sad and it  s sweet and I knew it complete
[01:02.35]When I wore a younger man  s clothes 
[01:05.35]
[01:06.84]La la la   de de da

[01:52.21]
[01:53.46]He gets me my drinks for free
[01:55.71]
[01:57.39]And he  s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
[02:00.51]
[02:01.26]But there  s someplace that he  d rather be
[02:03.77]
[02:07.21]And the waitress is practicing politics
[02:10.20]
[02:11.07]As the businessmen slowly get stoned
[02:13.69]
[02:15.13]Yes   they  re sharing a drink they call loneliness
[02:18.62]
[02:19.30]But it  s better than drinkin   alone

[03:16.07]
[03:17.38]  Cause he knows that it  s me they  ve been comin   to see
[03:20.72]
[03:21.45]To forget about life for a while
[03:23.90]
[03:26.92]And the piano   it sounds like a carnival
[03:31.03]And the microphone smells like a beer
[03:33.78]
[03:34.97]And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
[03:39.02]And say    Man   what are you doin   here?
