Why Am I Sad Today

The waitress is cleaning the bar It's two in the morning She offers some coffee to me Turns the radio on The caster is selling his voice to the night The coffee gets cold in a while The old man beside me is gone He showed me a blueprint Of a house he would build With the money he never could save His father was buried down by the sea Once he was younger than me Why am I sad today Why am I on the way Down to the border Not over the line Why am I sad today Why am I on the way Down to the limit of time I'm sleepless tonight Take me away from the gloom I'm cold from the inside The waitress has turned off the lights There's nothing to fear She's put on her coat and once in a while The lines on her face disappear Why am I sad today... Oceans awake and walls break down when you are there You take my hand and you just lead me right out of here Why am I sad Today...
