Early mourning blues
Whiskey for me
And drugs for you
Lying in bed
Till the break of dawn
Let's sleep the light away
It won't take long
Happiness is beside me
At last rolling around
Not making a sound
Dreaming of her prince,
Settling for less
And I take what I have,
It's more than before
And each day is getting hard
To love like the last
And I so much want us
Not to rust
Yet trust is all I have
To guard me from lust
And the bitter winter eats
Away my eternal soul
And if she would awake now
I could still have a chance
To be the one, to make her smile
But time is no friend
And god is only a scene
To make you believe in something
Other than yourself
And the devil invented god
For his amusement and we play
The game each day
Losing our way and
It is too plain to see
Everyday is drugs for you
And whiskey for me
