I went to a bar To have a rest again I saw him then A smiling old man Came rushing in He sat down close to me And soon I could see He's older than it seems to me And the night moved on and I got no sleep His furrowed face Told a story of life His restless eyes Kept his face alive His face alive His tanned skin did not tell his age I could see He's older than it seemed to me And the night moved on and I got no sleep He left the bar Then he spoke to me And I was captured 'cause now I could see His way of life He said little girl you'd better Do what you want Your life is too short to waste time And the night moved on and I got no sleep
