Not a five-minute walk from my connecting train station There's a bar called "Misaki" I heard a rumor she was there Maybe I'll go see her, maybe I'll go and not see her... A man wandering alone Muttering into his drink at the travellers' bar The loneliness of the muffled whistle in the twilight wharf Before I know it I'm heading back to my far off hometown Northwards, ever northwards, chasing some peace of mind Maybe I'll cross the channel on tomorrow's departure... The regretful song someone is plucking Brings me to tears at the travellers' bar You know you're weak, so why are you Living quietly all alone in the snow...? Is it all because of what I did so long ago? I pour another drink in pennance at the travellers' bar
