The Merlin Cafe歌词

The Merlin Cafe is empty
Save for a drunk or two
The waitress is waiting on going
And I've quit waiting on you
Midnight lovers are all the same
We dream in impossible ways
In the fading light we come alive and hide away from the days
A song will last forever
A single dream goes forward
Loneliness strips you down to the bone and that's when you know who you are
Cause you feel depressed for choosing
A night instead of day
It's never just a case of losing but throwing it all away
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away
The joker in his reverie
Takes another glass of wine
The poet watches carefully
And writes another line
The joker's just a dreamer
Who got lost along the way
And dreamers can be poets in this crazy cabaret
I remember an old man passing
His time was slipping away
I was holding his hand and waiting
Cause there was something he wanted to say
He said "Friends, in times of trouble, they are the hardest to find"
"Hold onto them forever and leave the rest behind"
And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day
I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away
