Stories (Live 1980)

[Verse 1]
She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Telling stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
"Won't you give me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine"
The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says "I've thought of you, too"

[Verse 2]
"Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs
That I'd rather forget
Like feelings I longed for
You haunt me inside
Some things I recall
Question mistakes
Who grew to nothing at all

[Verse 3]
She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Telling stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
"Won't you give me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine"
What do you do?
What can you say?
Looking at time
Things could go in their way
