Oh, Tom now, yes Just watching the bubbles in my beer But come in, Thomas, get us the low down on it Tonight in a bar alone I am sitting (yes) Apart from the laughter and the cheer (that's not good) While scenes from the past rise before me Just watching the bubbles in my beer A vision of someone who loves me Brings a lone silent tear to my eye Oh I know that my life's been a failure Just watching the bubbles in my beer (yeah) Well, alright ♪ Oh, Thomas I'm seeing the road that I travel (yeah) A road paved with heartaches and tears And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted While watching the bubbles in my beer As I think of the heart that I've broken And all the golden chances that have past me by And the dreams that I made now are empty (oh, no) As empty as the bubbles in my beer
