From the recording Follow The Gaslight
A restaurant song where other people’s dramas circle around one apparently intimate table.
Lyrics
There is a quarrel at the table three
A man demands to get the wine for free
And the waiter is the patient kind
Until she ain’t, walks away, leaving all behind
At the table two
It’s me and you, your eyes are opal blue
And all the stars align
If you and me could find that peace of mind
There is a family at the table one
A little girl is screaming to her mom
And the mom is screaming back at her
While a dad is tapping fingers, only anxious to be served
At the table two
It is me and you, your dress is velvet blue
I wanna see you dance
Into the night, with me, your old and true romance
There is a couple at the table five
The war is all they talk about tonight
A topic safe inside the comfort sone
Their major worry is that they must soon go home
At the table two
It’s me and you, your eyes are on the move
The table is set for four
I’m with Kate, and you’re with Frank
