The Empty Bar
I'm sitting in the corner of an empty bar,
Feeling lonely in body and mind,
The bartender asks me why I look so glum,
I say nothing and just sip my beer,
Don't feel much like talking.
Waiting for you is such a hard pain to bear,
Forever wanting to kiss you,
But you've been working since 6am this morning,
You told me that you didn't want to be disturbed,
So I stayed away just please you.
Keeping myself busy to occupy the time,
All day I ached for the moment we would meet,
The clock is ticking on and on,
You are still not here as you promised,
I feel sick with worry.
I need you, Archie,
That's all I ever wanted,
Is for you to be by my side,
Always and forever until the day we die,
Because that's how our lives are supposed to be.
It's only for a short while I know,
But I just can't take it anymore,
My life is as empty as this bar without you,
You are my happiness and my sadness,
Please, God, let Archie be with me now!
Tears are forming in my mud pool eyes,
My glass is nearly empty now,
Like this bar and my heart,
'Cause that's how long I've been waiting,
And I can't any longer.
But then I hear the door opening,
I don't need to see to know that it's you,
You call out my name with that cheery voice,
I turn and the butterflies flutter like crazy,
God, that hard to miss ginger hair!
You're with me here now,
I couldn't ask for anything more,
Well, maybe one thing,
Archie, my love, I don't have any money,
Don't suppose you could pay?
