Embassy+cafe

(Nick Gadd in //italics//)

// At the 24-hour Embassy cafe // // There's a man who sits and dreams his life away // // He's been drinking the same cup of coffee almost all the day // // Maybe he's waiting for the pain to go away. //

The taxi drivers wonder for a second why he's there The desperate try to catch his eye to ask for change to spare But he's just staring out the window to the end of God knows where Could be he's waiting for some chance that she'll appear

// What's he doing there I wonder? // // What's the nature of his trouble? // // Lost a job or lost a lover? // // What's the problem there my brother? //
