Bartender
pour me three whiskeys
And I'll tell you what
what made a blind man
come out tonight

I can't see it
but the sun is setting
and the night is pushing down
I know it's strange but pour me 3 whiskeys
and I'll tell you what brings me
to town

Stay here
pour me three whiskeys
one for every time she broke my heart
Stay here and listen to my story
I'll drink the first one
then I'll start

I had my eyes through our falling
and her early days as my wife
So I knew her beauty
I can still see her in this blind man's mind

Hair, black as shadow
and her hips when she would sway to a song
clear eyes of blue that moved 'round my face
as an evening wore on

Please! Stay here
I've got two more whiskeys
and more tale to tell
Her love left with my vison
and my story, you can guess, doesn't end well

When I lost my light, she kissed my eyes
and she had to work to make sense of our lives
and the years rolled by
and the tears rolled by
and I didn't need my sight
to feel there was something new in her nights

I couldn't sleep last night
and my wife talks in her sleep
so I knew I'd need whiskey for courage
for the appointment, I have to keep

Thank you for listening bartender
and let me finish with this
I came to town tonight to find you
and this close a blind man can't miss

Stay here because you love her
and I've got nothing left to lose
You've got 3 breaths to feel the night on your face
and this last whiskey is for you
