Tears of Bourbon (play mp3 file)
© 2004 Peter Weckworth & Scott Jackson Music

fate is fate
time is time
one shoulders the blame
the other walks by
i still hear your whispers
i still feel your sighs
and these tears of bourbon i cry

the world is a big place
it frightens me
it damns all my senses
it fills up my dreams
and wherever i go
and whatever i try
these tears of bourbon i cry

tears of bourbon
fall from the sky
tears of bourbon
for you and i
tears of bourbon
don't answer why
we're lost in this world
unable to fly
and these tears of bourbon we cry

there's a leaf in the air
lazy and free
it hangs in the balance
and drifts down the street
by this dim light i pray
that freedom was mine
and these tears of bourbon i cry
