When I See This Bar

[Verse 1] Well I see the souls of so many friends And I see us all back here again With sandy floors and ceiling fans A Rastafarian one-man band with songs That fills my memories like a tip jar Yeah, that's what I see When I see this bar [Verse 2] I see tourists at Christmas time And I taste beers with a hint of lime I feel lonely because it's not the same Different faces and different names Living like pirates out among the stars Yeah, that's what I see When I see this bar [Chorus] Pieces of our past slowly slip away But time just stands still when I walk in this place [Verse 3] And I see a kid coming into his own And a man learning to move on Somehow trying to find his way A dreamer betting on blind faith Chasing that sun and following his heart Yeah, that's what I see When I see this bar [Chorus] Pieces of our past slowly slip away But time just stands still when I walk in this place [Verse 4] A few have moved on back to Maine Jacksonville and Key Biscayne Some are still living the dream Stuck in still life it seems No matter where they've been Or where they are Yeah, I see them here When I see this bar When I see this bar [Verse 5] I wonder where we go from here (That's what I see when I see this bar) Life isn't over but it's always near (That's what I see when I see this bar) I think about all the good times that we had (That's what I see when I see this bar) It makes me happy and it makes me sad (That's what I see when I see this bar) How could we be so close, now so far apart (That's what I see when I see this bar) That's what I feel, that's what I see Yeah we were living like pirates and want to be stars That's what I see when I see this bar [Chorus] That's what I see when I see this bar
