The River

Yet another morning

that feels like this

Yet another life's bitter kiss

It has been like this for I don't know how long

I only know that at some point

it all went wrong

I don't remember much from last night

but still far more than I would like to

I'm floating downstream that damned river again

What can I do now except continue

and open a bottle once more

What can I do now except see this through

and float with the stream, off the shore

- see where the river will take me

When I needed you, you weren't there

now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe

With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world

the further off I get the harder it will be to return

It has been like this for I don't know how long

I only know that at some point

it all went wrong

Floating downstream that damned river again

The river that's distilled from premium grain

What can I do now except continue

and open a bottle once more

What can I do now except see this through

and float with the stream, off the shore

- see where the river will take me

- see where the river will take me
