about

I've knicked this lyric from another song of mine, Let Me Live. It fitted the mood of the music and the theme of the record really well. And I'm allowed to steal from myself!

lyrics

Down by the jukebox and the pool table he sits
He's a lovely man, he's got a heart of gold
And he's dreaming of 1982 and the Seaview Ballroom
He's a lovely man, lost his short-term memory

He sings hallelujah, hallelujah
Let me live

Says he still loves you and you kiss him as a friend
He carries that kiss like a treasure to have and to hold
Down in this dark corner
Outside the stars are shining and a last tram rattles by
He's such sweetheart, don't let him take you down

He sings hallelujah, etc.

He wanders down the strip searching for food and luck and a last song for the evening
Something blue, something emotional
That ghost down the road is a friend of mine, be kind to the spirit of the night
Something blue, something emotional

He sings hallelujah, etc.
