The new man in my life
Is a child too
I'm drinking by myself
Watching the news
There setting fire, to Beirut
I'm sitting here, waiting for you
The new love in my life
Is a new friend too
I'm drinking a beer
Listening to the news
A black man, with an old guitar
Knows how it feels, when we're apart
A boy with a hat
Walks on stage
Were two new characters
In a new play
I'll finish my whisky, and turn in
When you get back, i'll see you again
