One New York evening  
 
The town was wide awake and enjoying the lights of the city
 
But I wasn’t
 
I decided to call some friends and meet them in a bar called
 
The Rodeo Bar
 
I had a nice leisurely walk to the bar
 
When I got there
 
No one else was
 
Just the bartender
 
I sat on the stalls and ordered a pint
 
‘Meeting someone?’ asked the bartender
 
‘Yes…
 
I paused for a moment
 
I thought I saw my friends
 
…two friends.’
 
Suddenly I could see them
 
They came in and ordered their drinks
 
They sat down
 
‘Hi’ I said
 
‘Hi’ they said
 
We continued talking into the night.
