Bartenders Observations
A glass a shot
A drink of beer
The lonely lost hearts
That gather here
The dim and the dark
Hide the shame on their face
Their minds held captive
In a more distant place
A song brings about
A more distant pain
Lost loves and the like
Are always to blame
Finding comfort in those
That think much alike
Taking last call
Dying more every night
The prison their thoughts
A most lonely place
The pain in their heart
That time can't erase
Going it alone
Each shift its more clear
The searching lost soul
That's imprisoned here
Unable to find
A cure for the loss
For living this way
He's paying the cost
So don't look away
If we meet in this place
Go on with your life
Don't live my mistake
