A smoky bar in New York City
A whiskey ace drowns out your pity
Some guy plays on a battered piano
And serenades your sorrows again
You know I've stared at this ceiling
And walls with no feeling
I'd dream of somewhere else
A place where my fear did not choke
But you know, though I'm here
Your fingers follow the keys
Each note brings me closer to ease
And although you are nearly
three thousand miles away
I'm in that room and here I must stay
I hope I don't fall in love with you
Virginia Avenue and old shoes
You sing me a midnight lullaby,
you know I'm not quite asleep yet
as you pause for a cigarette
And any request you ask me,
You'll find me right there.
Just a few more songs, I swear.
By the opening chords of grapefruit moon
in the corner of this room
And in light there is hope
And in hope there is light
Just one star shining in the
A Closing time, folks, it's getting late
I feel this weight lifting
