Tina Dico Friend In a Bar song lyrics

I met a friend in a bar last night

a girl from a far away past

We counted and worked out that it'd been more than seven years

since we saw eachother last

She looked so much older I have to say

She used to dress so lively and smart

And now her colours they were faded

and her hair was a mess

Her expression was tired and hard

I asked her what she had been up to since then

She hesitated a while

She drew a nervous breath and sighed

"Not much to be honest"

Through a shame-faced smile

We sat there all night side by side

The conversation was slow

A few times I got up and said

"Okay well ..."

But I could tell she didn't want me to go

At 3 in the morning she suddenly said

"The truth is I've done nothing at all

My mind's been much to busy

thinking of a man

waiting for him to call

He left me on the day that I turned 21

For years now I've been on my own

I'm scared that if I change or if I leave my house too long

I wont be there when he decides to come home"

I asked about the man and her eyes lit up

The taste of his name brought her right out of her shell

She said "it wasn't always easy, he's a complicated man,

but I know he loves me, and I know he meant well.

He still calls now and then in the dead of my nights

he asks if I'm alone in bed

And I tell him 'babe of course I am, I'm yours now and forever,

please don't hang up!' and then the line goes dead ..."

Wow, nice guy

I met a friend in a bar last night

A girl who lives in the past

I got up on my feet and I ran out

thinking "please don't let me catch the cruel decease she has"
