i wrote these blues
same as you wrote yours
wrote them nestled in the hole we dug
or that one what she tore when she left
same as your woman,
gone.

and I cuddled that bottle
just like i dreamed you would
trying to forget me for even one goddamned minute
or to drown at the bottom of that glass
or to die without dying
or to sleep, maybe,
or to just stop wondering where she went
or with whom she's with

but not why she left

cause i know goddamn well why she left
same as you knew
when you...

the raging tide
our sinking ship
i give you hell
you give me lip
the neighbors call
the cops arrive
the door reveals
four black eyes
so who to take?
i take the fall
the cuffs go on
despite your bawl
they throw me in
they set the bail
rent and Visa
hit the nail
you pick me up
we make good time
making love
and drinking wine
the storm has passed
the flood recedes
it's always peace
the squall precedes
you call me hon
i call you dear ...
