Bad dreams in my eyes, made the bartender think,
I was stone drunk,
I told him, "I've just begun, nowhere there"
the girl between us, sitting quiet on a bar stool, was not mine.
Her gaze seized me like a hug,
the room quickly got warm, I felt
"He'll be OK when his pain is subdued" she said.
I just believed her words and said a wordless "Yes"
