Café Table

Jimmy stopped by to chat, a little bit today
He was a Vietnam vet, and he was on his way
To his 9-5 job, at the local grocery store
The same job that he had, since before the war

And suddenly in walks Sally,
with her little white dog
She?s a corporate VP,
and I know its been a long time since she?s hung out at the local café?
I heard about her promo in the paper the other day

RELEASE
Everybody needs a break sometimes
From the every day stress of life
From the never ending chains of responsibility
Everybody needs to spend more time

CHORUS:
At a café table,
Overlooks the sea in paradise
At a café table, where you can escape from your life

So one day I asked Jimmy, didn?t he ever get bored
He said ?when you?re living in paradise, who could ask for more
? When you?ve been to hell and back, he says?
You thank God for every breath you take

?RELEASE
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Life?s too short to spend all your time worrying
About those things that don?t really matter
When you?re at the café table

Suddenly from out of sight
comes a deep and aged voice?
What you do with your life Well that?s your choice
?It?s a voice inside my head That keeps reminding me of this
?you?ll never wish you spent more time at the office

RELEASE
CHORUS
