Friend In A Bar |
I met a friend in a bar last night |
A girl from a far away past |
We counted and worked out that it’d been more than seven years |
Since we saw each other last |
She looked so much older I’d have to say |
She used to dress so lovely and smart |
And now her colours, they were faded and her hair was a mess |
Her expression was tired and hard |
I asked her what she had been up to since then |
She hesitated a while |
She drew a nervous breath and sighed «Not much to be honest» |
Through a shame-faced smile |
We sat there all night, side by side |
The conversation was slow |
A few times I got up and said «Okay well…» |
But I could tell she didn’t want me to go |
At three in the morning she suddenly said |
«Truth is I’ve done nothing at all |
My mind’s been much too busy thinking of a man |
And waiting for him to call» |
«He left me on the day that I turned 21 |
For years now I’ve been on my own |
I’m scared that if I change or if I leave my house too long |
I won’t be there when he decides to come home» |
I asked about the man and her eyes lit up! |
The taste of his name brought her right out of her shell |
She said «It wasn’t always easy, he’s a complicated man |
But I know he loves me and I know he meant well» |
«He still calls now and then in the dead of my nights |
He asks if I’m alone in bed |
And I tell him 'Babe of course I am, I’m yours now and for ever, |
PLEASE DON’T HANG UP…' |
And then the line goes dead» |
(Wow nice guy!) |
I met a friend in a bar last night |
A girl that lives in the past |
I got up on my feet and I ran out |
Thinking «Please don’t let me catch the cruel disease she has!» |
