Last Drop Lyrics

Now what would you say if you walked in

Saw me sobbing in your armchair, stinking of gin

I would ask you, if you could help

It would be good for me, for you to help my health

If I was peeling off labels with my fingernail

And leaving them lying near the curtain rail

Would you stop my slide, dead in its tracks

Help me get some of my dignity back

That's what happened to me, I'd licked that glass and its poison clean

I was a lonesome hero in a caravan, on my way to ruin with a fading tan

You were what happened to be, the wind to blow those clouds away from me

Got me singing a song I could understand, got that dirty bottle out of my hand

If you happened to catch me on the edge of life

Looking at my face in a kitchen knife

Would you hold on to me and lock the door

Tell me how you loved me once before

I had put your photo on the fireplace

So I could look at you when I was off my face

Would you hold my wrist and put out the light

And kiss it gently 'til it feels alright

That's what happened to me, I'd licked that glass and its poison clean

I was a lonesome hero in a caravan, on my way to ruin with a fading tan

You were what happened to be, the wind to blow those clouds away from me

Got me singing a song I could understand, got that dirty bottle out of my hand
