The Shangri La Café

Eamon Friel Cop. Con

It’s the slowest time
Summer past its prime
I can hear it sing the weary blues
Taking up the tune
Melancholy moon
I tip the sand of time out of my shoes

Meet me at The Shangri La Café
The bar next door is called The Wishing Well
Easy Street!The Shangri La café
It’s facing The Utopia Hotel

People say you’ll find
It’s a state of mind
I believe it’s more a state of grace
On that street of song
You just can’t go wrong
I’m sure I’ll know it when I find the place

Almost walked on past
Here I am at last
The Shangri La Café! It’s such a dive!!!
Not what I supposed
And the sign says closed
I’ll be waiting here when you arrive
I’m just waiting here till you arrive
