The Old Man And The Beer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is no place to hide now
There is no need to be here
She left me all behind now
I cry into my beer
Her words have left me cold now
She's gone not far but too near
Still see her every day now
I cry into my beer
Sometimes words are wrong
When they tell you, how you're feeling
Well I'm a long lost day
I just linger on
I'm still searching for a way of carrying on
I cried all day
Oh what a fool that day
It hurt me when you were gone
I'm hurt but then I deserved it when two love lives turned to one
I gaze down from my window
The apartment we shared for years
She's laid there in the ground now
I cry into my beers
No games of love for me now
No way, no one can be near
I've left it all behind now
I cry into my beer
I cry into my beer
I cry into my beer
