C Song (The Trondheim Waltz)

A doobie with Peruvian coffee

The begonias melt in the sun

Listening to a song about mysterious wisteria

From the voice of a good man long gone

The monitor screen a black window

I'm ignoring the knock at the door

An unopened letter on the table before me

An unanswered call on the phone

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

Not today

I don't want to buy into your sadness

Please keep all your grief to yourself

I'll take stock of my own situation

Share my problems with nobody еlse

I dine alone in thе depths of the restaurant

Watch the candles burn slow in the night

Take my time pouring over the menu

Just make sure you keep bringing the wine

Half full or half empty's the question

To be honest I don't really care

I'm happy in this God given moment

But like me it won't last very long

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

Not today

I'll face the inevitable ending

And the fact there'll be no curtain call

I hope they write up my performance

The reviews are favorable

Until then I'll dance the fandango

With a smile as big as the moon

Worship the arrival of tomorrows

And whistle an uplifting tune

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

I won't let you bring me down

Not today
