Drinking

(album: twilight - 2001)

You say the drinking is better than a woman
And you say the thinking takes too much time
Well God save your children should you have them
For, to you, there's nothing if there's no wine

Oh you have so much more
Oh where has your time gone
Oh where has your time gone
Oh you have so much more

You sing like an angel, your voice melts my heart
Your words are of wisdom, your life has been hard
And, should you ever wonder where all the time has gone
You'll find the answer far away from home

Oh you have so much more
Oh where has your time gone

And I don't want to see you like this
When you're crawling
Please, don't you weep
Cause I will shape the day
And make you feel alright

But you say the drinking is better than a woman
And you say the thinking takes too much time
You sing like a siren, your voice breaks my heart
And when you are crying, your tears are like wine

Oh, you have so much more
And I don't want to see you like this
When you're crawling
Won't you weep for me
Won't you breathe for me
Won't you let me be
And I don't want to see you like this
When you're crawling
Don't you drink
Don't you let me down
