I went to a bar
To have a rest again
I saw him then
smiling old man [bad word] in
He sat down close to me
And soon I could see
He's older than it seemed to me

And the night moved on and I got no sleep (x4)

His furrowed face
Told a story of life
His restless eyes
Kept his face alive
His face alive
His tanned skin did not tell of his age
I could see
He's older than it seemed to me

And the night moved on and I got no sleep (x2)

He left the bar
Then he spoke to me
And I was captured
'Cause now I could see
His way of life
He said little girl you'd better
Do what you want
Your life is too short to waste time

And the night moved on and I got no sleep (x5)
