Piano....

Recommended Posts

It’s nine o’clock on a saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There’s an old man sitting next to me

Makin’ love to his tonic and gin

He says, son, can you play me a memory?

I’m not really sure how it goes

But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete

When I wore a younger man’s clothes

La la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

Chorus:

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man

Sing us a song tonight

Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody

And you’ve got us feelin’ alright

Now john at the bar is a friend of mine

He gets me my drinks for free

And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke

But there’s someplace that he’d rather be

He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.

As the smile ran away from his face

Well I’m sure that I could be a movie star

If I could get out of this place

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

Now paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he’s talkin’ with davy who’s still in the navy

And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness

But it’s better than drinkin’ alone

Chorus

It’s a pretty good crowd for a saturday

And the manager gives me a smile

’cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see

To forget about life for a while

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival

And the microphone smells like a beer

And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar

And say, man, what are you doin’ here?

Oh, la la la, de de da

La la, de de da da da

Chorus

When I find myself watching the time

I never think about all the funny things you said

I feel like it's dead

Where is it leading me now

I turn around in the still of the room

Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move

Can't wait any longer

And I'm feeling stronger but oh

Just as I walk through the door

I can feel your emotion

It's pullin' me back

Back to love you

I know I'm caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

When he plays piano in the dark

He holds me close like a thief of the heart

He plays a melody

Born to tear me all apart

The silence is broken

And no words are spoken but oh

Just as I walk through the door

I can feel your emotion

It's pullin' me back

Back to love you

I know I'm caught up in the middle

I cry just a little

When I think of letting go

Oh no, gave up on the riddle

I cry just a little

When he plays piano in the dark
