the whiskey didn’t kill the pain
I walked for hours in the tain
through the dark streets and lanes
the night you left me

the whiskey didn’t help at all
in fact it even made me fall
I needed the support of the wall
the night you left me
with nowhere to go
I was going nowhere
and going there real slow
knowing that you wouldn’t be there

the whiskey didn’t help at all
in fact it even made me crawl
I needed the support of the wall
the night you left me

if you would stay with me
my fiery lover
by now you’d be an amber in my brain
and all my thoughts of you would have no power
like ashes all water down the drain

whiskey didn’t kill the pain
I walked for hours in the rain
through the dark streets and lanes
the night you left me
with nowhere to go
I was going nowhere
and going there real slow
knowing that you wouldn’t be there

if you would stay with me
my fiery lover
by now you’d be an amber in my brain
and all my thoughts of you would have no power
like ashes all water down the drain

the whiskey didn’t help at all
in fact it even made me fall
I needed the support of the wall
the night you left me
