Down the end of this barroom, Out of sight of the light in the window His mind in his whiskey And his body in a folding chair Far beyond repair I enter his vision He watches me look for my seat He makes his decision And he stands to his feet Lord, it's a long way down
It happened to me Wonderful sight Only for me Only for you It happened to be a light shining through Form one who was lost and found Just like me and you
Old man says, 'Young man, my you're looking Pretty Green Like a stranger to this kind of place Come sit at my table Come and look into my face I've got a story to tell.'
'There was a father and son But that was a long time ago And when the time came to run I just couldn't say no So I left them behind.'
It happened to me Wonderful sight Only for me Only for you It happened to be a light shining through Form one who was lost and found Just like me and you
We have seen it before In times of great sorrow That human compassion will flow from a well That has long run dry
It happened to me Wonderful sight Only for me Only for you It happened to be a light shining through Form one who was lost and found Just like me and you
