Dining Alone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dining alone Sipping his wine Watching the door Checking the time Is that her? What to do False alarm [Verse 2] One more glass 'till she shows Or perhaps someone else he knows Might try her Maybe not Just can't speak [Refrain 1] Passing the salt Without a word All eyes lowered Avoiding looks [Verse 3] Faces in books Through the door Is it true? Yes, it's her What to do Politely smile Turn away What to say [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 4] Passing time takes its toll Nothing said Time to go What to do Try and joke Tongue tied [Refrain 2] Thinking next day It's been too long Eating elsewhere More friendly types Trying again Might make friends [Verse 5] Have a drink Maybe smile At someone nice across the aisle Someday, perhaps Who knows? [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 6] Dining alone Sipping his wine Watching the door Playing for time No one comes Lights turn low Time to go
