Maybes In a Midnight Bar

I have seen you wandering through my life A hundred nights in a lonely downtown bar We have never spoken a single word Our eyes have never met Yet I wonder what are you thinking? You sit alone at midnight The crowds move around you No one says a word to you I doubt that you hear the music But your fingernails click in time to the beat Your eyes are dark and cold They stare straight ahead Looking at a hundred people You do not see them Your thoughts in another place It is almost as if you cannot hear the song Almost as if the people do not exist You are in a world of your own making Are you thinking about a long lost kiss? Or maybe about the love you never found Maybe you are just a sad, lonely drunk Without a thought in her head Maybe if I spent time with you Shared even the briefest moment We could talk Maybe we could have a dance or two And at last you could hear the music
