lyrics

I lay staring at the ceiling
As the walls start to spin
I don't remember when it began
But I know that it won't end
'cause there's the sun on the horizon
What a day to drink again
Oh, not a day to have an empty glass

Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard
Been so damn long since I've been sober
Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer
Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under

How this life is bittersweet
After a whiskey straight and a pint of ale
But I've got the feeling
I'll soon be needing some water
Lord make it wine, I'm a drunkard

I'll drink myself to the bottom
What a task of wretchedness
And I've lost count of all the bottles
Not a day to have an empty glass

Forgive me Lord, I'm a drunkard
Been so damn long since I've been sober
Hear my words despite the slurring in my prayer
Forgive me Lord, I'm drowning under
