Minus The Bear Fulfill The Dream
I saw her with another man walking downtown.
She’s not mine and she’ll never be
by my side walking downtown.
I only met her once before:
She was alone in a back booth,
a drink and a cigarette.
Smoking like she was waiting for someone.
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath.
The next one’s on me.
“May I take this seat?”
The rest of the bar recedes.
We talked on traveling back roads
over seas.
“Girl, a change sounds good to me.”
She said, “Who can find that kind of time.”
I’d only met her once before:
She was alone in a back booth,
a drink and a cigarette.
Drinking like she was waiting for someone.
Me stealing glances as she stole my breath.
And after it’s done,
The sun comes up and she’s gone.
After it’s done
you just move on.
A night can’t show
what’s made plain by the sun
