Only for Me |
| Down the end of the barroom |
| Out of sight of the light in the window |
| His mind in his whiskey and his body in a folding chair |
| Far beyond repair |
| I enter his vision |
| He watches me look for my seat |
| He makes his decision and he stands to his feet |
| Lord, it’s a long way down |
| It happened to me, wonderful sight |
| Only for me only for you |
| It happened to be a light shining through |
| From one who was lost and found |
| Just like me and you |
| Old man says, «Young man, my you’re looking pretty green yeah |
| Like a stranger to this kind of place |
| Come sit at my table, come and look into my face |
| I’ve got a story to tell |
| There was a father and son |
| But that was a long time ago |
| And when the time came to run |
| I just couldn’t say no so I left them behind" |
| It happened to me, wonderful sight |
| Only for me, only for you |
| It happened to be a light shining through |
| From one who was lost and found |
| Just like me and you |
| We have seen it before |
| In times of great sorrow |
| That human compassion will flow |
| From a well that has long run dry |
| It happened to me, wonderful sight |
| Only for me, only for you |
| It happened to be a light shining through |
| From one who was lost and found |
| Just like me and you, oh yes |
