about

(A typical day at Johnny’s...)

lyrics

I know an old man
He sits here every day
You don’t know what he holds inside
But if you did you’d hear him say

I fought my way through World War I
And stayed for World War II
I know it’s all meaningless history to you
But in all my seventy-eight long years
I still haven’t found the truth
I am the old man

There’s also a lady
She pours coffee every day
She likes to keep them happy here
But there’s so much she needs to say

My husband left two weeks ago
And I don’t know what to do
I know I’m not the only one
And I don’t mean to bother you
But after twenty years of marriage
I’ve got no one to see me through
I am the lady

Then there’s the young man
Stops in once a week
He’s got all kinds of fears inside
But he’s too shy to speak

I just got busted by the law
And I’ll have to go to jail
I know you don’t really care
But my old man won’t pay the bail
He’s bound to disown me
When he finds out I have failed
I am the young man

Talking faces in common places
Talking faces in common places
Talking faces in common places
Talking faces
