Chris Connor - Ballad Of The Sad Cafe lyrics

Midnight to lonely midnight Each night until the dawn The sad said, look what I had said Their hearts said they just go on They try to hard or else they cry Too hard, they play too hard Their blind mans game Some our clever And some our never Whichever, it's all the same Music playing loud and blue Telling, selling nothing new The lyrics sang the drama of a story Old as life and love The ballad of the sad cafe People laughing all around There's no laughter in the sound A little proud and none too wisе The story's there within thеir eyes The ballad of the sad cafe A lonely conversation in the corner Where no one is {?} Two strangers on a chance Pretending new romance To masquerade their need for sympathy Keep that new day from the door Fill that glass up once more But time has said the party's through So add another chapter to the ballad of the sad cafe
