Whiskey Mornings

Whiskey Mornings

Sunlight crashes in,

My eyes snap open.

Guess they were hopin’

You’d be here with me.

Just another whiskey mornin’,

Just another daybreak without your touch.

Just another day without your love.

All I got is this whiskey bottle to hold.

The years have gone by

And my heart can’t say goodbye.

My hands still long to hold you.

Can’t get used to –

These whiskey mornings without you.

I wish I could undo all the wrong.

To have you here with me,

But like a dog without a bone

Alone is how I’ll be.

HANDFUL OF DIMES

One dollar, handful of dime',

Only place to go tonigh'

Is out of my mind.

She's running the street'

As I sink into my drink.

The only thing that comes

easily is the pain.

It's always been that way.

So hard to love anyone

I had to fall for her.

This home is nothing but walls,

And every saturday night

It's only their dress that falls.

They lay in my bed of shame,

my lips only savor her name.
