The sun's going down in that little old town
And the people are travelling home
Some to their family and some to their lovers
Some of them sadly alone
The day's been a rough one tomorrow's a tough one
They struggle to make both ends meet
But there is a place with a smile on its face
And it's right at the end of the street
Down at the little cafe by the harbor
Nobody cares who you are or what you do
Down at the little cafe by the harbor
There is a welcome waiting there just for you
You could be a stranger escaping from danger
Got here on a boat from the west
There's no one to meet you and no one to greet you
And you need somewhere you can rest
Than go through the doorway and tell them your story
And while you were drinking your beer
They'll find you a bed to lay down your head
And just for a while disappear
Down at the little cafe by the harbor ...
Nobody cares who you are or what you do
Down at the little cafe by the harbor
There is a welcome waiting there just for you
If you got a date and she's making you wait
There is no better spot you could be
A laugh and a joke with some regular folk
You can talk while you sip your tea
And when she appears they'll stand up and cheer
And somehow it'll all be allright
You'll eat a good dinner and feel like a winner
And probably stay there all night
Down at the little cafe by the harbor ...
