She sits at the bar of the Travellers Hotel;
stares at her glass and wonders what it might foretell;
the phone stops ringing; the barman calls her name;
she doesn’t answer; this is no time for blame.

She’s drinkin’ to remember all the things she’s lost;
the good times and the bad and just how much they cost.


She looks in the mirror on the wall behind the bar;
she doesn’t recognise the girl who could’ve gone so far;
if only she’d listened to the friends who loved her so;
but it’s all too late now; she decides it’s time to go.

She’s drinkin’ to remember all the things she’s lost;
the good times and the bad and just how much they cost.


But as she drains her final glass
she knows she has to leave the past;
the future’s hers to take and mould;
she doesn’t need a hand to hold.

She walks down the street and heads straight for the train;
she knows this town will never be the same;
but that’s all behind her; a new girl steps aboard;
she’s made her mind up and she’d ready now for more.

She was drinkin’ to remember all the things she’s lost;
the good times and the bad and just how much they cost.

She was drinkin’ to remember all the things she’s lost;
the good times and the bad and just how much they cost.
