Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Old City Bar Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In an old city bar
  • That is never too far
  • From the places that gather
  • The dreams that have been
  • In the safety of night
  • With its old neon light
  • It beckons to strangers
  • And they always come in
  • And the snow it was falling
  • The neon was calling
  • The music was low
  • And the night
  • Christmas Eve
  • And here was the danger
  • That even with strangers
  • Inside of this night
  • It's easier to believe
  • Then the door opened wide
  • And a child came inside
  • That no one in the bar
  • Had seen there before
  • And he asked did we know
  • That outside in the snow
  • That someone was lost
  • Standing outside our door
  • Then the bartender gazed
  • Through the smoke and the haze
  • Through the window and ice
  • To a corner streetlight
  • Where standing alone
  • By a broken pay phone
  • Was a girl the child said
  • Could no longer get home
  • And the snow it was falling
  • The neon was calling
  • The bartender turned
  • And said , not that I care
  • But how would you know this?
  • The child said I've noticed
  • If one could be home
  • They'd be all ready there
  • Then the bartender came out from behind the bar
  • And in all of his life he was never that far
  • And he did something else that he thought no one saw
  • When he took all the cash from the register draw
  • Then he followed the child to the girl cross the street
  • And we watched from the bar as they started to speak
  • Then he called for a cab and he said J.F.K.
  • Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away
  • And we saw in his hand
  • That the cash was all gone
  • From the light that she had
  • wished upon
  • If you want to arrange it
  • This world you can change it
  • If we could somehow make this
  • Christmas thing last
  • By helping a neighbor
  • Or even a stranger
  • And to know who needs help
  • You need only just ask
  • Then he looked for the child
  • But the child wasn't there
  • Just the wind and the snow
  • Waltzing dreams through the air
  • So he walked back inside
  • Somehow different I think
  • For the rest of the night
  • No one paid for a drink
  • And the cynics will say
  • That some neighborhood kid
  • Wandered in on some bums
  • In the world where they hid
  • But they weren't there
  • So they couldn't see
  • By an old neon star
  • On that, night, Christmas Eve
  • When the snow it was falling
  • The neon was calling
  • And in case you should wonder
  • In case you should care
  • Why we're on our own
  • Never went home
  • On that night of all nights
  • We were already there
  • Then all at once inside that night
  • He saw it all so clear
  • The answer that he sought so long
  • Had always been so near
  • It's every gift that someone gives
  • Expecting nothing back
  • It's every kindness that we do
  • Each simple little act
