Barrel Night Julia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Got a table at the Barrel on a cold Thursday night Two uncles in tow, both losing their sight and their hearing Yeah, they can't hear a thing 'cause they leave those aids at home And I asked you for a favor, Julia, please make it hot 'Cause I’ve been burned by cold dumplings in every single spot You smiled and you did it, no attitude shown [Pre-Chorus] Steam on the window Heat in your hands You knew what I meant Before I asked again [Chorus] Oh, Julia I never meant to walk away Oh, Julia I should have stayed that day Oh, Julia You kept my plate alive Julia, Julia You kept that table right [Verse 2] I sat by the booth with my boots in the slush You moved like a match in a room full of frost My uncles kept joking, kept slapping the rail Said they could taste trouble from a mile off the trail But you brought out the gravy, you brought out the light And the whole damn room felt a little more right [Pre-Chorus] Steam on the window Heat in your hands You knew what I meant Before I asked again [Chorus] Oh, Julia I never meant to walk away Oh, Julia I should have stayed that day Oh, Julia You kept my plate alive Julia, Julia You kept that table right [Bridge] Now every cold meal Brings your face back clear Your smile in the chaos Your calm in the fear If I find that booth again I’ll order with pride And I’ll say your name softly Like I never said goodbye [Final Chorus] Oh, Julia I never meant to walk away Oh, Julia I should have stayed that day Oh, Julia You kept my plate alive Julia, Julia You kept that table right
