In a Minor Key

There's a woman that I know who ran a little bar
In the town where I used to be
She'd seen more in life than anyone could tell
And more than anyone should see

Never pine for a clear day when a rainy one will do
Though I know that others disagree
It's much more than simply making more with few
It's finding joy in a minor key

Living in a minor key is to shape reality
So your will is yours and truly free
Forget bout what you heard
Jump on in and flat the third
And get on living in a minor key

There's a man lives down the street who speaks obscenities
But his heart knows love and life and all
And he'll tell you of his life's fine philosophies
And of every time he came to call

Take the first I'll take the latter
If you don't mind it doesn't matter
A battle cry played out on the marquee
With a twinkle of his eye he says as 40 years go by
When making love in a minor key

What's the point of living life like the best can never be?
Why not go and live your life like everyday's a jubilee...

I hope I find a kid (For truly they must be)
Who truly sees the wisdom of my plea
To make a choice instead
As glory's absentee
Living life in a minor key
