Down the end of this barroom,
Out of sight of the light in the window
His mind in his whiskey
And his body in a folding chair
Far beyond repair
I enter his vision
He watches me look for my seat
He makes his decision
And he stands to his feet
Lord, it's a long way down

It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you

Old man says, "young man, my you're looking
Pretty green
Like a stranger to this kind of place
Come sit at my table
Come and look into my face
I've got a story to tell."

"there was a father and son
But that was a long time ago
And when the time came to run
I just couldn't say no
So I left them behind."

It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you

We have seen it before
In times of great sorrow
That human compa*sion will flow from a well
That has long run dry

It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you
