lyrics
there's a picture, above the bar
depicting a scene that happened forty years ago.
of a man and his friend, known as a local hero.
and everybody knew him, because he was always here
earning his status by drinking his own weight in beer;
but no one ever asked him who he went home to...
"i'm sorry my friends, i'm sorry i have to go." were the
words he never spoke, the words he never knew.
"reality is too much for me to hold"
was a secret that he never spoke, a confession he never told.
...and there's a man at the end of the bar; patiently and silently he sits there
and he stares and he stares at that picture.
i catch his eye, and he looks away, before he turns round to stare at the picture again
"that was me, that was me." he quietly says.
"when i was your age, i was a local hero"
he said, "but when my friends all left, i didn't know where to go.
this bar was my only home; i just didn't know what to do
when they left me. alone."
"when i was your age, i held the world in my hands
but my hands grew tired and i had to put it down;
so young man remember that the sun always comes up,
and the music always stops;
and time waits for no-one
so don't get left behind."
