5th Avenue Bar |
Well, I could sit here and I could think |
'Bout the things that I ain’t got |
So don’t mind me if I hesitate |
Tell you the truth, it ain’t a lot |
And I might come in here with a pocket full of money |
And I might leave here with a dime in my pocket |
But either way that don’t make me happy |
And all I have is this picture in a locket |
So I go down street to the 5th Avenue Bar |
I go over a man who’s lighting up his cheap cigars |
And I ask him if it’s gonna get any better |
He says, «No», well, he says, «No» |
There’s a young man behind the bar who take the bottle |
«Here's how you let go, here’s how you let go» |
Well, I could sit here and occupy |
For your love to be as strong as mine |
But instead I keep the peace |
Sit here alone, sitting in my grief |
And I could go somewhere and burn this lonely picture |
Even in my head I know I’d still remember |
Walking down the street, in my wallet there’s a 50 |
And I drop it down at the place where we feel empty |
Yeah, I’m down street at the 5th Avenue Bar |
Talking to the man who’s lighting up his cheap cigars |
And I ask him if it’s gonna get any better |
He says, «For me it didn’t, for me it didn’t» |
There’s a young man behind the bar who take the bottle |
«Yeah, this’ll fix it», he says, «This'll fix it» |
Well, I woke up in the morning |
And the world was white as snow |
Is it heaven or hell, which place to hide low |
