lyrics

In a barroom in Belgium
There’s a girl and she’s drinking
She’s dancing with no one tonight
She’s watching the bar man
As he pours her another
And the floor sways beneath her
in the dim smokey light

She says take me away
from this heartache
The horses are always hungry
the work has no end
And my lover is leaving

It’s a quarter to midnight
She’s making a phone call
Across the ocean to her family at home
Here’s why I’m calling
as the tears start falling
I can’t take it no more
I’m losing this fight

Take me away from this heartache
The horses are always hungry
the work has no end
And my lover is leaving
He won’t understand

Now it’s two in the morning
She’s heading on home now
She’s cried all the tears she can cry
There’s a light in her window
She closes the curtain
Goodnight my dear Belgium, goodnight

Take me away from this heartache
The horses are always hungry
the work has no end
And my lover is leaving
He won’t understand
