lyrics

The lights were dim
the smoke was thick
The piano player
was magic

The eyes were dark from across the room
In the corner sat
a new bride and groom

The small cafe
i sat all night
My eyes were growing heavy
the lights seemed bright

Its so wonderful to fall in love
I've messed up too many times
Got a cigarette in my hand
with you on my mind

Folk music plays
on an acoustic guitar
from the corner of the room
by the bar

Pictures by Picasso
upon the wall
My vision's blurry
there's people I can't see at all.

City lights
shine through the door
You're walking out
but I don't care anymore

My jacket's on
but I still feel cold
certain fortunes
just can't be told

Tarot cards
a mystic song
a woman gypsy is
reading my palm

Memories flash
like neon lights
Sad, sad stories
on a rainy night

I remember the evening
sat in wicker chair
a golden scarf
covered her hair

I was told the fortune
of the loss to come
She said "Baby, with every win
you gotta lose some"

Now I'm sitting here
in my favorite cafe
thinking of the prophecy
that came true today

Champagne on ice
a smoke or two
I'm drinking alone
at a table for two.
