i went to a bar

to have a rest again

i saw him then

a smiling old man

came rushing in

he sat down close to me

and soon i could see

he's older than it seemes to me

and the night moved on and i got no sleep



his furrowed face

told a story of life

his restless eyes

kept his face alive

his face alive

his tanned skin did not tell of his age

i could see

he's older than it seemed to me



he left the bar

then he spoke to me

and i was captured

'cause now i could see

his way of life

he said little girl you'd better

do what you want

your life is too short to waste time
