Music in a Dark Café

from Music in a Dark Café by Nathan Bollig

lyrics

Here I am again sitting in a dark cafe
playing your tunes
When Uncle Louis left
the stable was abused
and the horses were afraid
It's a bitter tale
a winter dark that'll haunt my heart till June
but I'm playing to an empty room

With one foot on the floor
One resting on the rung of the stool
It's a void I intersect
And all I need to say is captured in these songs
in words you never kept

The audience smiles
they know about love too
They make their cell phone lights dance in the room
Alone on stage in a hollow light
Echoes of my guitar swallowed by the rafters

Lift the capo up to play another key
Therapeutic dreams
As patrons walk inside watching me sing
the songs I wrote for you
played to an empty room
