Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I been sitting at this bar since nineteen forty-three
I been sitting at this bar since nineteen forty-three
Same stool, same glass, waiting on a man who won't come back to me
[Verse 2]
That envelope been laying there collecting dust and shame
That envelope been laying there collecting dust and shame
Got his handwriting on the front but I can't bear to read his name
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Bartender knows my order before I walk through that door
Bartender knows my order before I walk through that door
Pours it slow and silent, don't ask me nothing no more
[Verse 4]
Every year the paint peels off, every year I lose a tooth
Every year the paint peels off, every year I lose a tooth
But I keep coming back here holding on to some old truth
[Verse 5]
That letter sitting sealed up tight like a mouth that won't confess
That letter sitting sealed up tight like a mouth that won't confess
Maybe he's dead, maybe he's gone, maybe ignorance is best
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
I watch the young girls crying over men who done them wrong
I watch the young girls crying over men who done them wrong
But they still got time to leave this place, I been here too long
[Verse 7]
Some nights I reach to open it, my fingers on the seam
Some nights I reach to open it, my fingers on the seam
But I pull back my hand and order one more drink
[Outro]
I'll be here tomorrow when the sun comes burning through
I'll be here tomorrow when the sun comes burning through
Same stool, same silence, same unopened truth
