lyrics

Hang on to your hat when you hang with me, brother
I'll laugh with one lung while I sigh with the other
I'm winking at you with one eye… the other is crying

Don't back away, sister', I'm ancient and harmless
Like Venus de Milo, still reaching but armless
I'm winking at you with one eye… the other is crying

'Round this table tonight, by the warm candlelight
You're all young and so lovely, so lovely and right
I am trying
To stay cool, debonair, kind of devil-may-care
But I can't take my eyes off the one empty chair

The drummer is drunk, but the mood just keeps swinging
A tear could get stuck in my throat, I'll keep singing
I'm winking at you with one eye
Pleased to meet you, forgive me if I
Shake your hand with my left while the right one is waving
Goodbye

Just let him be the one to sing you down off the ledge. ... more
