I went to a bar
to have a rest again
I saw him then
a smiling old man
came rushing in
he sat down close to me
and soon I could see
he's older than it seems to me
and the night moved on and I got no sleep
his furrowed face
told a story of life
his restless eyes
kept his face alive
his face alive
his tanned skin did not tell of his age
I could see
he's older than it seemed to me
he left the bar
then he spoke to me
and I was captured
'cause now I could see
his way of life
he said little girl you'd better
do what you want
your life is too short to waste time
