| Lyrics: | 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
from 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
from 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
from one who was lost and found just
like me and you. |
