paul loren - an evening such as this كلمات الأغنية

the lights had me all blinded
the drinks got to my brain
by the time that i unwinded
they stopped singing their refrain
guess i’m too late to the party
guess i’m destined to be amiss
seems like fate saying “i’m sorry”
on an evening such as this

on an evening such as this
there are lonely hearts in every town
on an evening such as this
there’s not a warm soul to be found
but i’ll take solace in the theory
that somewhere there’s still some bliss
just one place that’s bright and cheery
on an evening such as this

back then the streets were empty
and still the cries weren’t heard
right now it feels like a century
it’s long since seemed absurd
that the powers never told us
they sealed our future with a kiss
they’re oh_so_happy to have sold us
on an evening such as this
on an evening such as this
there are vacant stools in every town
on an evening such as this
there’s not a cheap meal to be found
but i’ll take comfort in the notion
that i still can reminisce
about the nights before the implosion
on an evening such as this

i held on to the railing
as we descended to the banks
even though the stocks were failing
if i sold, i would break ranks
hope the tides could turn around now
hope the market wouldn’t miss
even up feels just like down now
on an evening such as this

on an evening such as this
there are hollow stares in every town
on an evening such as this
there’s not a bread line to be found
but there’s relief in the old adage
that complacency is bliss
with less caring comes less baggage
on an evening such as this
now we’ve all been hunkered down here
for a year and two lifetimes
got no games to play around here
just some gimlets without limes
but tonight i’ll shave and get dressed
scratch out a grocery list
go shopping in my sunday best
on an evening such as this

on an evening such as this
there are desperate smiles in every town
on an evening such as this
there’s not a full purse to be found
but i take pleasure in the power
of seeing straight in the abyss
staring down our darkest hour
on an evening such as this

when i’m back i’ll pop a bottle
stretch my feet and fantasize
maybe i’ll write that great novel
or start a business baking pies
guess i’m too selfish to rely on
but too truthful to dismiss
give me one shoulder i can cry on
on an evening such as this
on an evening such as this
there are lonely hearts in every town
on an evening such as this
there’s not a warm soul to be found
but i’ll take solace in the theory
that somewhere there’s still some bliss
just one place that’s bright and cheery
on an evening such as this
