lyrics

It’s whiskey kind of weather
And the gypsy wind’s traveling home
There’s a lump stuck in the back of my throat
Cuz when you’re here I feel more alone

I try not to spill any feelings on you
You don’t like your hands to get messy
A brave man once said he’d rather be dead
Than be free of the bruises of living

If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
I’m just a poor man
But I’m gonna saddle up, head for the wild

I may be a fool full of trinkets and dreams
You pass yourself off as a king
But I’d choose a pocket of baubles I’d earned
Over coffers of gold that you thieved

If the world were like you, we all would be blue
From denying our breath and our feeling
All I have as a prize is a handful of pity
If that’s your way of winning

If love was a poison
Some souls would try
I almost die each time
Kiss me, slip me the vial
