Well if you live in dusty twilight baby,
That's okay,
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday.
And you can take them back to lie
With you and visit Jamie's room,
But they can never take the pain away
Or brighten all the gloom
And if your hands are clenchedin sorrow,
May it help you ease your pain
Though the windows have a view of
City rain , city rain...
And if you walk in constant sorrow
And you cry for me
May it hit the painful memories
Maybe then you'll see
That if you drown yourself in liquor,
Because it keeps you company
Then just remember who you're loosing
And be proud to set me free
Because it don't talk back or disagree
It just make you see so hazily,
But in the morning light
Your life is scattered with the wind
Scattered with the wind...
Well they tell you on the telephone
To let him go
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship
And he's trying to pull you down
Don't you know , that every time
You call me up and say you want me back
You know you break my heart
You said you want me to come home
And try again you want me to
Make a brandnew start
But if wisdom tells to let him go
Then it's hell,
Because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's
Loving whiskey, loving whiskey...
My baby left me for the bottle
And the lure of the nightlife
Good times and crazy women
And another glass of Tangueray
But if wisdom says to let him go
Then it's hell,
Because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's
Loving whiskey, loving whiskey...
