WHISKY SKY

 

WHISKY SKY

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2023

 

GONE THE DAYS

WITHOUT A CARE

ALL THE DAYS

YOU COULD FIND US THERE

LAID BACK IN THE SUN

THOSE DAYS OF WONDER

GOLDEN SUMMERS

QUIETLY SLIPPED AWAY

NO THOUGHTS OF WHERE

WE COULD BE

WHEN WE GOT THERE

WE WOULD SEE

 

I SAW A HIGHWAY LEAVING

I GUESS I MADE IT MINE

WERE ALL THOSE YEARS

REALLY WASTED

DID THEY LEAVE

A BITTER TASTE

YOU WIN SOME

YOU LOSE SOME

YOU TAKE YOUR PLACE

 

SOMETIMES I LOOK BACK

AND SMILE

OTHER TIMES I CRY

ITS NO WONDER WHY

THE TIMES I LOST MY WAY

WERE MANY

WITNESS TO

SO MANY ROADS

 

LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT

TRYING EVERY DOOR

I DON'T GIVE UP EASY

I NEVER DID BEFORE

I STOOD OUT IN THE RAIN

TOO LONG

I GOT LOST ALONG THE WAY

DEEP IN REFLECTION

NEVER HAD LESS TO SAY

 

HOPE IS FADING

ITS GIVING AWAY

EMPTY HOLLOW

A WHISKY SKY

I SAID HELLO

NOW ITS GOODBYE

COME ON BREATHE SOME LIFE

INTO MY DAY

I'M ALL ALONE

I'D LIKE TO FEEL

LESS THAT WAY

 

STARTED OVER

RIGHT FROM THE BOTTOM

I CAN'T SEE THE TOP

BUT I'LL KEEP ON GOING

I'M AFRAID TO STOP

EMPTY HOLLOW

A WHISKY SKY

THE BOTTOM DROPS OUT

GIVES WAY TO THE RAIN

IT COULD BE A LIE
