lyrics
AT A BAR DOWNTOWN
Last night you played at a bar downtown
Paper said don’t miss this so I headed on down
Anticipating as you tuned your guitar
I paid my money took a seat at the bar – but
Your accent spanned the globe from east to west
In the first ten minutes of your set
Uncertain mumbles every second word
Seemed someone you’re not was all we heard
And I was thinking
I hope you find your own voice one day
I hope we find out what you’ve got to say
Don’t wait too long ‘cause life is short
Before you know it, it can slip away
Battled your way here from a small southern town
When you gonna put your armour down
That mask you’re wearing it blocks your light
Just let it fall and you would shine so bright
I woulda walked out but I saw why you pretend
I felt for you and I stayed till the end
My heart went out for your brilliance your fear
I hoped you’d sing something we could all hear
And I hope you find your own voice one day
I hope we find out what you’ve got to say
Don’t wait too long ‘cause life is short
Before you know it, it can slip away
Before you find it, it can slip away
Before you live it, it can slip away
