Lyrics
0:02"Table For One Radio Edit"
0:05Passenger
0:26So I sit on this table for one
0:30And pour me a drink that’ll last
0:35I’m not drunk I just miss being young
0:38And I grew old too fast
0:42My wife she breaks and she bends
0:45My children they don’t understand
0:50I came here tonight in search of a friend
0:54But I’m the invisible man
0:57‘cause I’ve swallowed my tongue
1:00And I’ve polished my gun
1:01And I’ve sat on my secrets for years
1:05With my stiff upper lip
1:07My composure won’t slip
1:09And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear
1:31I sit on this table for one
1:35And I have been here before
1:39It’s a little less than I’d had in mind
1:42But I wouldn’t ask for more
1:46And my mother she taught me to write
1:50And my father he taught me his trade
1:54And I wish that they could both be here tonight
1:58To see what a mess I’ve made
2:02‘cause I’ve swallowed my tongue
2:04And I’ve polished my gun
2:06And I’ve sat on my secrets for years
2:10With my stiff upper lip
2:12My composure won’t slip
2:14And I’ve hidden each silent salty tear
2:18My sons and my daughters don’t know me at all
2:22I’ve dug in trenches and put up walls
2:25I whisper I love you each night as they sleep
2:29But no one hears me when I speak
2:33On this table for one
2:55So I sit on this table for one
2:59I won’t go till they tell me to leave
3:04Why’d they teach me to follow my dreams
3:07When dreams are all they can be
