The Merlin Cafe is empty Save for a drunk or two The waitress is waiting on going And I've quit waiting on you Midnight lovers are all the same We dream in impossible ways In the fading light we come alive and hide away from the days A song will last forever A single dream goes forward Loneliness strips you down to the bone and that's when you know who you are Cause you feel depressed for choosing A night instead of day It's never just a case of losing but throwing it all away And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away The joker in his reverie Takes another glass of wine The poet watches carefully And writes another line The joker's just a dreamer Who got lost along the way And dreamers can be poets in this crazy cabaret I remember an old man passing His time was slipping away I was holding his hand and waiting Cause there was something he wanted to say He said "Friends, in times of trouble, they are the hardest to find" "Hold onto them forever and leave the rest behind" And I'll write you a song in the morning and I'll sing it for you some day I'll say all the things I should've said before you went away
