Only for Me

Down the end of this barroom,
 Out of sight of the light in the window
 His mind in his whiskey
 And his body in a folding chair
 Far beyond repair
 I enter his vision
 He watches me look for my seat
 He makes his decision
 And he stands to his feet
 Lord, it's a long way down
 It happened to me
 Wonderful sight
 Only for me
 Only for you
 It happened to be a light shining through
 Form one who was lost and found
 Just like me and you
 Old man says, "Young man, my you're looking
 Pretty Green
 Like a stranger to this kind of place
 Come sit at my table
 Come and look into my face
 I've got a story to tell.
 There was a father and son
 But that was a long time ago
 And when the time came to run
 I just couldn't say no
 So I left them behind."
 It happened to me
 Wonderful sight
 Only for me
 Only for you
 It happened to be a light shining through
 Form one who was lost and found
 Just like me and you
 We have seen it before
 In times of great sorrow
 That human compassion will flow from a well
 That has long run dry
 It happened to me
 Wonderful sight
 Only for me
 Only for you
 It happened to be a light shining through
 Form one who was lost and found
 Just like me and you
