The waitress is cleaning the bar

It's two in the morning

She offers some coffee to me

Turns the radio on

The caster is selling his voice to the night

The coffee gets cold in a while



The old man beside me is gone

He showed me a blueprint

Of a house he would build

With the money he never could save

His father was buried down by the sea

Once he was younger than me



Why am I sad today

Why am I on the way

Down to the border

Not over the line



Why am I sad today

Why am I on the way

Down to the limit of time

I'm sleepless tonight



Take me away from the gloom

I'm cold from the inside

The waitress has turned off the lights

There's nothing to fear

She's put on her coat and once in a while

The lines on her face disappear



Why am I sad today...



Oceans awake and walls break down

when you are there

You take my hand and

you just lead me right out of here



Why am I sad Today...
