Ships That Don't Come In

I COULD TELL HE HAD A TOUGH LIFE, BY THE WAY HE SAT AND STARED AND ME, I'D COME TO PUSH AND SHOVE, SO I PULLED UP I CHAIR WE TALKED OF ROADS UNTRAVELED, WE TALKED OF LOVE UNTRUE OF STRINGS THAT COME UNRAVELED, WE WERE KINGS AND KINDRED FOOLS AND JUST WHEN I HIT BOTTOM, THAT OLD MAN RAISES HIS GLASS. AND SAID AT LEAST WE'VE HAD OUR CHANCES, THERES THOSE WHO NEVER HAVE SO HERES TO ALL THE SOLDIERS, WHO HAVE EVER DIED IN VANE THE INSANE LOCKED UP IN THEMSELVES, THE HOMLESS DOWN ON MAIN TO THOSE WHO STAND ON EMPTY SHORES, AND SPIT AGAINST THE WIND AND THOSE WHO WAIT FOREVER, FOR SHIPS THAT DON'T COME IN. HE SAID ITS ONLY LIFES ILLUSIONS, THAT BRING US TO THIS BAR TO PICK UP THESE OLD CRUTCHES, AND COMPARE EACH OTHERS SCARS CAUSE THE THING WERE CALLING HEARTACHE, HELL, THERE HARLDLY WORTH OUR TIME WE'D BITCH ABOUT A DOLLAR, WHEN THERES THOSE WITHOUT A DIME AS HE ORDERED ONE LAST ROUND HE SAID, I GUESS WE CAN'T COMPLAIN GOD MADE LIFE A GAMBLE AND WERE STILL IN THE GAME
