When I See This Bar

Well, I see the souls of so many friends

And I see us all back here again

With sandy floors and ceiling fans

A Rastafarian one-man band

With songs that fill my memory

Like a tip jar

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar

I see tourists at Christmas time

And I taste beers with a hint of lime

I feel lonely 'cause it's not the same

Different faces and different names

Living like pirates out among the stars

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still

When I walk in this place

And I see a kid coming into his own

And a man learning to move on

Somehow trying to find his way

A dreamer betting on blind faith

And chasing that sun and following his heart

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar

Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still

When I walk in this place

A few have moved on back to Maine

Jacksonville and Key Biscayne

Some are still living the dream

Stuck in still life it seems

No matter where they've been or where they are

Yeah, I see them here

When I see this bar

When I see this bar

I wonder where we go from here

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

Life ain't over but it's always near

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

I think about all the good times that we had

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

Makes me happy, and it makes me sad

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

How could we be so close, now so far apart?

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

That's what I feel, that's what I see when I see

Yeah, we were living like pirates and wanna be stars

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

(That's what I see when I see this bar)
