Lyrics[]

Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there

I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place
To look for you
But maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said you lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this
Someday if all my prayers are answered

I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart
I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll
Be there

Drinking again, and thinking of when, when you loved me

I'm having a few and wishing that you were here

Making the rounds, accepting a round from a strangers

Being a fool, just hoping that you'll appear

Sure, I can borrow a smoke

Maybe tell some joker a bad joke

But nobody laughs, they don't laugh at a broken heart

Oh, yeah, I'm drinking again

It's always the same, that same old story

After the kicks, there's little old mixed-up me

Tryin' to lose, a dream that used to be

Look at me, I'm drinking again, drinking all over town, yeah, I'm drinking again
