In a room just like so many Knives and forks and glasses clatter He sat behind a microphone In a corner where it didn't matter For honest pay an honest player Sang for tips and vacant stares On a nowhere night like any other In a nowhere place where no one cares
She took a seat at an empty table Looked at the specials on the menu there She'd been out of love for the longest time Told her friends she didn't care But from his list he picked a sad one Because his heart was empty too And the song she heard was like an arrow From Cupid's bow it fairly flew
Chorus: And one girl cried to a melody that turned around her soul One girl cried amazed at how the lyric took it's toll There beside a little table she thought she was safe alone But the music hit it's mark when one girl cried
People try to make things happen They plant a seed to make it grow They choose a crop to fit the climate Till the soil into a row But these two people had it different More like bees on a flower vine Instinct told them where to wander Without a map they made out fine
Remember there's a hundred failures For every seed that sprouts and grows It's rare to find the right conditions These things only nature knows But miracles are bound to happen And these two might just pass the test And get the care and love they need To carry on for all the rest
