LyricMeaning

Of A Friday Night
Anaïs Mitchell

Just across from the hospital

Still inside of the red lines

A couple blocks from the orthodox church

That's where the old poet lives


And his eyeglasses and his necktie

At the window looking down

On the young man passing by

On the fullness of the town


Full of them good time gamblers

Full of their restless wives, full of their midnight writers

Out on the corner on a Friday night

Out in the brightness of a Friday night


And the big horns blow, and the pianos play

And the music rose to the old man's ears

I guess those were the olden days

I guess those were the golden years


'Cause now the town is empty

Empty as a mirror [unverified]

Empty as a harbor in the barber's chair

Where did the old poet go?

I asked around, nobody knows, oh


Maybe I came too early

Maybe I came too late

I'm waiting in the shadows

Of the scaffolds of the old cafe

Where you told me to wait


And I've got this lingering feeling

It's like I slipped between

Fingers of the centuries

I know you know what I mean


I'll be a good time gambler

I'll be a restless wife

I'll be a midnight writer

Out in the corner on a Friday night


Call me a good time gambler

Call me a restless wife, call me a midnight writer

Out in the corner on a Friday night

Out in the brightness of a Friday night

Call me the brightness of a Friday night
