Gin and Cigarettes Lyrics

...
She sits alone at the end of the table
Much to big for one
Once there were parties
Glasses and chairs were full
Now the glamour's gone
Nothing but time to build a case for regret
Nothing but time for gin and cigarettes

Memories repeat with each skip of the record
Long forgotten dreams
Music that plays as a soundtrack throughout her life keeps her company
Drinking to remember
Drinking to forget
Drinking gin and smoking cigarettes

Smoking cigarettes

Children grow and leave they tell you
Your best has left them scarred
Husbands are no better they only have so many ticks in their heart

...

Watching the birds as they fly pass by her window
Through the smoke her eyes burn
Even though life clipped her wings oh so long ago
Still the heart it yearns
Soon that's not enough to ease the pain
And she's drowning she's drowning
She made a choice she has to bet
No all that's left is
Gin and cigarettes.
