After work I'd sit out front.
An occasional boat would pass.
The stars would glimmer on the river.
I stare into them rather than an empty glass.

Huck's is a place for fun.
for remembering the good days
and thinking of the bad.
My day is done, so quietly I gaze.

Darkness surrounds me.
except the street light.
Flies keep me company
on such a cool peaceful night.

The energy inside slowly dies down.
We're closing for another day.
Soon Bill, or another bartender,
will be sending patrons on their way.

Spirits of alcohol,  spirits of night
Please guide these customers
safely home tonight.

Wish I may
Wish I might
have another day
and another night.
