lyrics

I drank so much whisky
I could not walk or speak
I drank so much whisky
I could neither walk nor speak
I woke up in the morning
And I said
This is not the path I seek

Stepped outside my door
The sun said ‘I’m too low to shine
Stepped outside my door
The sun said ‘I’m too low to shine’
What’s a man to do
About the storm clouds
Gathered round his mind

When the sun crawled up
He was shining angry and bright
When the sun climbed up in the sky
He was shining angry and bright
My head was on fire
And I was blinded
Blinded by the light

The night fell black
Like a great weight from the sky
The night fell black
Like a great weight from the sky
I felt so all alone
But I was too empty
Too empty to cry
