( One more
- ( Oh buddy don't you think you've had enough
- (It's practically morning already
( One more I said
- ( Alright alright
-( My shift is over anyway so let's settle the bill okay
-( Jeez you're in a bad way ain't ya
-( Worse than most that end up here
- ( Here's the morning shift maybe he'll know what to do with you
( Yes what to do with me
( That's the question isn't it
( That's always been the question
( Ever since the beginning
She looks for sympathy
I give her sorrow
She looks for honesty
I've none to borrow
She needs my tender kiss
She begs it of me
I give her ugliness
Why does she love me
She yearns for higher things
Things I can't give her
The rush that music brings
I can't deliver
And even when she sings
And soars above me
I try to clip her wings
Why does she love me
One more drink sir
That's what I need
Don't you think sir
Leave the hurt behind
( Do you hear me another drink
She wants the man I was
Husband and father
At least she thinks she does
She needn't bother
Beneath this mask I wear
There's nothing of me
Just horror shame despair
Why does she love me
How 'bout you sir
Tell me what am I to do sir
Leave the hurt behind
*Morning Bernie coffee please
*Hurry up before I freeze
*I'll just take it black
*( Mother said I'd find you here
( Miss Giry
*( Do you know where you are
( Hell I imagine
*( Round here they call it suicide hall
*( It's where people end up when they don't know where else to go
*( The hopeless the desperate
*( The good place to step off the side of the pier and quietly vanish
( You seem to be a regular
*( Me I come here to swim
*This town is coarse and cold and mean
*It's hard to keep your conscience clean
*Faceless in the crowd
*Anything's allowed
*And so I come at dawn each day
*Come to wash it all away
*Sink into the sea
*Blue and cool and kind
*Let it set me free
*Let the past unwind
*Leave the hurt behind
*( You should have never come to America
*( It's not a place for people like you and Christine
*( It's too easy to forget who you are and where you belong
*( That's why mother says you must leave here now
*( Take your wife and the boy and go
( Leave, but what about tonight
( The concert the money
( Am I to just run away from him
*( When the sun rises tomorrow we can all start again clean
*Sail across the sea
*Put us out of mind
*Close your eyes and flee
*Let yourselves stay blind
*Leave this place behind
