on a barstool
watching a game of hustler's pool
listening to Jimmy playing his guitar
smoking a hand-rolled Cuban cigar
with the lights turned down low
couples and some standing solo
drinks in hand
like a Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
we're playing a part
tending to a broken heart
or being in love with a friend we know
whichever way the wild winds blow
a golden dawn following the night
a soft face welcoming the morning light
and with the brightest smile
stops and stays for a little while
all the world wants to cheer a winner
growing heavy or growing thinner
on the road to where the forest grows
there are no easy answers from beyond i suppose
to which we all reply
overhead is an endless blue sky
and it's easy to remember the world is full
of people sitting on a barstool
watching a game of hustler's pool
listening to Jimmy playing his guitar
smoking a hand-rolled Cuban cigar
with the lights turned down low
couples and some standing solo
drinks in hand
like a Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
