whiskey & water

i took a train

out to the countryside

where my grandmother lays

by my grandfather's side

and they were so happy

aboard their boat

their beautiful vessel

they stay afloat

a hole in the bower

gets on the ship

captain's retired

to his room for a sip

of whiskey

and water

that he never could resist

you're fast asleep

but i'm still sleepless

the feeling is gone

where can i

and i'll never be happy unless

all your lovers start loving you less

when the bottles are empty

we're all alone

i should have tried to weather the storm

when the bottles are empty

and we're all alone

i think i'd be better on my own

yeah

i think i'd be better off going home
