Whiskey & Water Lyrics

Please send me a sign

And set me up against the lane

Give me something I can trust

In all the drama and change

I followed a dream

And if a man is born to fall

Then let me live against my creed

In all the filth of it all

And I can drink

My whiskey and water and

Fix folly and peace

'Cause there's a price you pay

To live this way, it's called ill at ease

Please drop me a line

And send me love and sun to boot

'Cause I am idle, drunk and well

Busy with nothing to do

This battle is cold

I have to make the grade alone

'Cause I have traveled far to find

I need a room of my own

Where I can

Break habit with fortune 'cause

She's something to be

She's spending Saturdays in Partick

With the SSP

And I am charged guilty as sin

Because it hurts me to know

That she is working so hard

But for the joy of stock control

Oh let me sing out to myself

And polish off these bottle cries

And send them down to Saville Row

'Cause I'm not ready to die

But I am ready to live

Can I make it out with pride

Or play the left wing let down king

Put out with something to hide

And I can run to you for cover and

We'll bury the dread

And when the time has come for leaving

I will love you instead

Oh won't you sing something in minor key

This stillness is bleak

Could we dream away the

Guilt we have for the working week

And in the warm arms of a stranger I'm

Too happy to lie

I know we've both been here before

Just please don't ask me why

And I have walked here with you close to me

But never alone

Oh won't you cling to me in major key

You're the joy I've known

Oh the joy I've known

Oh the joy I've known

Oh the joy I've known

Oh the joy I've known

Oh the joy I've known

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la
