Cafe De Regret

Today we meet time face to face
So we can have our final say
here at our favorite cafe retreat
We'll discuss our parting fate

Build
Oh, we could go on like this
but we'd just be acting fools
we've given it our best
and now we're free to choose

Chorus
So let me wish you, while I'm able
A new life of happiness
When you're gone, I'll keep our table
At the Café de Regret

The moments drag while I'm waiting
my heart is feeling naked
But I won't wait long you're never late
yet I feel lost anticipating

Build
I know it's been so long
Since things have been just right
I guess you'll move on
I'll try'n find another life

Chorus
So let me wish you, while I'm able
A new life of happiness
When you're gone, I'll keep our table
At the Café de Regret

Bridge
It was young love
So much we didn't know
Our guard was down
we let our feelings roam

Chorus
So let me wish you, while I'm able
A new life of happiness
When you're gone, I'll keep our table
At the Café de Regret


The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Fantastic! I'd so love to hear it sung. Love the name "Cafe de Regret". I have a permanent seat there, the third one from the door on the left, closest to the street lol

Really, its great, I can see it and hear it even without the audio
