Mark Croft: Listen
Drink It Dry
()
2007-06
A whiskey bottle and the western sky
Are all that’s left of my life
I find myself alone
In search of rain
From this dream I can’t awake
I have taken all that I can take
So fill this bottle Lord
Because I’m gonna drink it dry.
I have seen the Hades fire
Felt my sorrows burning with desire
And chased the darkness
Down into the grave
From my tongue has spilled the lies
That my heart could not deny
So fill this bottle Lord
Because I’m gonna drink it dry.
She said damn, you’re a fool
You have broken this heart right in two
And from this nightmare
There is no escape
So may the distant thunderclouds
Crack the sky if only grace allows
And fill this bottle Lord
Because I’m gonna drink it dry.
