With Whiskey

He believed in you Remember when he said Words are always hard to manage Can't get out of bed Now hear him Through the empty city He swept you of your feet He's sweeping up the dust now, baby Drink your whiskey neat Come on old lovers Fall down in the grass Wake up with the breeze And gather around the torn off pictures Join the family Hold the blankets tighter Turn on all the lights Mummify the lovers Burn them in the night Gather our belongings Throw them from the trains Let go of the railings Let go of the rains Take on me, take me on Take me on, take on me Come on old lovers Fall down in the grass Wake up with the breeze And gather around the torn off pictures Join the family Now hear him Through the empty city He swept you of your feet He's sweeping up the dust now, baby Drink your whiskey neat Hold the blankets tighter Turn on all the lights Mummify the lovers Burn them in the night Gather our belongings Throw them from the trains Let go of the railings Let go of the rains Take on me, take me on Take me on, take on me
