Sir, is this seat taken
If not may I sit next to you
Before you pass judgment
Save a man left hopeless

No, pity is not what I seek
Not even a couple dollars for bus fare
If you can listen to me for a while
That would put my weary heart at ease

Here I am pouring sorrows to strangers
Sir, I hope you can see past that for a while
Deserted in a ghost town for days
Walking for hours looking for a person to talk to
All I found was silence and she does all the talking

After so much traveling I saw a gas station
All that walking can make one thirsty
Went closer and the sign said closed
So then I saw you in a café all alone

If I painted you the picture in my mind
You would consider me insane
See, I have a dilemma though
This vivid image is so real
The type that words couldn’t explain

Ah, you must have loved some woman
Only guessing but your heart must know pain
My folks taught me never to pry in another’s affairs
Well, my own are filled with so much hurt
That this feeling has to be shared right ?
A voyage like this can’t be taken alone

Sir, you shed a tear may I ask why
Have my words caused your grief
If, so I deeply apologize
Would you mind if I cry with you
