When I See This Bar Songtext / Lyric

Well, I see the souls of so many friends

And I see us all back here again

With sandy floors and celing fans

A rastafarian one-man band

With songs that fill my memories like a tip jar

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar



I see tourists at Christmas time

And I taste beers with a hint of lime

I feel lonely 'cause it's not the same

Different faces and different names

Living like pirates out among the stars

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar



Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still

When I walk in this place






And I see a kid coming into his own

And a man learning to move on

Somehow trying to find his way

A dreamer betting on blind faith

And Chasing that sun and following his heart

Yeah, that's what I see

When I see this bar



Pieces of our past slowly slip away

But time just stands still

When I walk in this place



A few have moved on back to Maine

Jacksonville and Key Biscayne

Some are still living the dream

Stuck in still life it seems

No matter where they've been or where they are

Yeah, I see 'em here

When I see this bar

When I see this bar



I wonder where I'll go from here

That's what I see when I see this bar

Life ain't over but it's always near

That's what I see when I see this bar

I think about all the good times that we had

That's what I see when I see this bar

Makes me happy and it Makes me sad

That's what I see when I see this bar

How could we be so close, now so far apart

That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I feel, that's what I see when I see this bar

Yeah, we're living like pirates and wanna be stars

That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see his bar
