Old Bar Corner & New Wine Glass - Enlly Blue
The pain still clings to the cafe wall
But my heart's worn thin from it all
A quiet dream, I smelt and slow
Like memories that just won't let go
You once sat in that very chair
Your smile, the season's first affair
I'm still here in the same old place
But no one listens to my grace
I say to myself, I'll be alright
If my voice shakes when I order tonight
The street's still loud and people pass
But my heart just stays stuck in the past
A stranger glances, offers a smile
I nod, then stare down for a while
Not from shame or aching sorrow
But fearing eyes that see tomorrow
The record hums, I'll be seeing you
I hum along, but not for who
My third drink's warm, the ice is gone
Like me, nothing left to hold on
I say to myself, I'll be alright
But my voice shakes when I order tonight
The street's still loud and people pass
But the memories, they never outlast
Old cafe corner, a brand new glass
Still the same me, but love's long past
They say forgetting comes with time
But loving was always the easier climb
