Lyrics

TAVERN
words & music copyright 2021 by Tim Young

Candle burns low on my table
Juke box sings its same sad song
And here she comes again with another
And I know I’ll be sitting here much too long

Night flows on like a river
Wrapping its arms all around me
Though I don’t know where it’s going
I know it’s a place I need to be

Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me

Don’t know exactly how this happened
Never did have one big plan
Oh but now that I see it
What I need to do is understand

Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
And when my candle burns out
I’ll light a new one
So there’s always a flame in front of me

Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
