Текст песни Paul Shapera - The Bar

Timothy:
Well now three years have come and gone since i’ve been here on the run
And one night this long, dark road leads to pocatello, Idaho
Round abouts it’s Friday night, it’s kind of hopping here with life
So despite myself i think i’ll go ahead and grab a drink
Some preacher on the street’s all whipped up in some kind of heat

Preacher:
Friends are you committed to the way of prayer? Without heavenly prayer you have nothing! Without heavenly prayer you will watch your world crumble, you will watch darkness come for you and all you love. Get on your knees now, tonight, this very moment and recite with me. Recite…

(Timothy enters bar)

Timothy:
Some whiskey sours that are heartburn cheap
the locals laugh and cuss and speak
and flirt and dance and down their drinks round me

I silent sit and soak it up
I listen watc and it’s enough
I catch her eye, loook down, but she walks up

I don’t know how to flirt or chat

Zoe:
Your name’s enough to start if you want

Timothy:
she says at last

Zoe:
It’s been awhile in this place since i’ve seen a brand new face
so maybe humor me a bit, i’ll grab a drink and have a sit
It’s zoe, nice to meet with you
i’m also far from home here too
i got stuck here when i tried awhile back to hitch a ride

Timothy:
And so we talk and smoke and sip our booze

I ask her if she’s trying to score

Zoe:
It’s not like that, i’m into girls.
Just sit back and relax we’ll catch a buzz and hang and chat
a little company if you don’t mind to help us leave our woes behind

Timothy:
The night goes nice and drinks pile fast
It’s been so long since i’ve opened up and
I wonder if i’ve made a friend at last
