Lyrics Old City Bar

In an old city bar that's never too far from the places that gather the dreams that have been

In the safety of night with its old neon light it beckons to strangers and they always come in

And the snow it was falling

The neon was calling

The music was low and the night Christmas Eve

And here was the danger that even with strangers inside of this night it's easier to believe

Then the door opened wide and a child came inside that no one in the bar had seen there before

And he asked did we know that outside in the snow

That someone was lost standing outside our door

Then the bartender gazed through the smoke and the haze

Through the window and ice to that corner streetlight

Where standing alone by a broken pay phone was a girl the child said could no longer get home

And the snow it was falling

The neon was calling

The bartender turned and said Not that I care

But how would you know this

The child said I've noticed if one could be home

They'd be already there

Then the bartender came out from behind the bar

And in all of his life he was never that far

And he did something else that he thought no one saw when he took all the cash from the register draw

Then he followed the child to the girl 'cross the street and we watched from the bar as they started to speak

Then he called for a cab and he said J.F.K.

Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away

And we saw in his hand that the cash was all gone from the light that she had wished upon

If you want to arrange it this world you can change it

If we could somehow make this Christmas thing last

By helping a neighbor or even a stranger

And to know who needs help you need only just ask

Then he looked for the child but the child wasn't there

Just the wind and the snow waltzing dreams through the air

So he walked back inside somehow different I think

For the rest of the night no one paid for a drink

And the cynics will say that some neighborhood kid wandered in on some bums in the world where they hid

But they weren't there so they couldn't see by an old neon star on that night Christmas Eve

When the snow it was falling

The neon was calling

And in case you should wonder

In case you should care

Why we're on our own

Never went home

On that night of all nights we were already there

There
