Lyrics:

B. Martin

Who do we have here, it is a lonely man
See him stirrin' up the stars in the river with his hand
He's been waiting for the lady who is not gonna come
Holding out a hope because you've got to have some
They say you've got to have some

So he sits at the bar every night
'Til he forgets why he came
Says, "Give me one more one of anything at all
It all tastes the same"
And that photograph of her is the last thing he reads
She may be far away, but she never will leave
He knows she never will leave

She was the heartsong
She was the melody, the memory a lifetime-long
Without a heartsong
The part of him that you can see will still go on
But inside, the song is gone

So he sits at the bar
'Til he forgets why he came
"Give me one more one of anything
It all tastes the same"
You know, it all tastes the same

She was the heartsong
She was the melody, the memory a lifetime-long
Without a heartsong
The part of him that you can see will still go on
But inside, the song is gone
