Intoxicated

You keep your feelings locked in a cage You're too tired to talk and your nerves are all frayed How bloodshot your eyes are when they look into mine I try to ask you say "It's not the time" You're staring at your bottle, drifting to sleep Trying so hard, but you just can't keep Your eyes open... just let them shut I won't wake you unless the times get rough I will let you sleep until the morning comes When the pain becomes too much to bear Darling know that I'll be there But when you sleep... dream of me But when you sleep... dream of me You retreat to your room like a fox to its den Painting a picture with your ballpoint pen You reach for your bottle like a newborn babe The sweet bite of liquor is what you most crave You're staring at your bottle, drifting to sleep Trying so hard, but you just can't keep Your eyes open... just let them shut I won't wake you unless the times get rough I will let you sleep until the morning comes When the pain becomes too much to bear Darling know that I'll be there But when you sleep... dream of me But when you sleep... dream of me I won't wake you unless the times get rough I will let you sleep until the morning comes When the pain becomes too much to bear Darling know that I'll be there But when you sleep... dream of me But when you sleep... dream of me
