Table for One |
So I sit on this table for one |
And pour me a drink that’ll last |
I’m not drunk I just miss being young |
And I grew old too fast |
My wife she breaks and she bends |
My children they don’t understand |
I came here tonight in search of a friend |
But I’m the invisible man |
'Cause I’ve swallowed my tongue |
And I’ve polished my gun |
And I’ve sat on my secrets for years |
With my stiff upper lip |
My composure won’t slip |
And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear |
I sit on this table for one |
And I have been here before |
It’s a little less than I’d had in mind |
But I wouldn’t ask for more |
And my mother she taught me to write |
And my father he taught me his trade |
And I wish that they could both be here tonight |
To see what a mess I’ve made |
'Cause I’ve swallowed my tongue |
And I’ve polished my gun |
And I’ve sat on my secrets for years |
With my stiff upper lip |
My composure won’t slip |
And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear |
My sons and my daughters don’t know me at all |
I’ve dug in trenches and put up walls |
I whisper I love you each night as they sleep |
But no one hears me when I speak |
On this table for one |
So I sit on this table for one |
I won’t go till they tell me to leave |
Why’d they teach me to follow my dreams |
When dreams are all they can be? |
