For A Few

For A Few

               

You might be my huckleberry and I might meet my end  

There’s a cover band on stage and they’re my only friend

They left it up to me and maybe I’ll pull through                                 

But the audience is listening only to you

The drummer’s high on glory and the singer’s in need    

The crowd don’t know no better, the guitarist blew the lead

They’re just waiting on me and maybe I’ll show up          

 But I’m taking my sweet time, till I think they’ve suffered enough

I’m a little too high, which leave you a little low  I promise next time, next time I’ll show

and we’ll tear this place anew    but for now won’t you let me be, alone with myself,

for a few

the buzz is setting in and the music fill the souls            

closing time is looming and they cover it I'm told

they sing along and the band is right on time                       

it’s the time that flies while the years go by as the ages climb

“while we’re young” no truer words were said                   

then when your old you can say you bled

They stopped waiting, it’s me they didn’t need                 

I’m still trying, but there’s advice I just can’t heed

I’m a little too high, which leave you a little low  I promise next time, next time I’ll show

and we’ll tear this place anew    but for now won’t you let me be, alone with myself,

for a few
