The Whiskey and the Rum

Flew into the country on a golden night in spring
You were looking pretty in spite of everything
I was out to visit for a summer far from home
And I don't want to end up all alone

Take me to the bars and clubs then take me home to bed
Dress me, feed me, lay me down, hold a damp cloth to my head
A lost and lonely figure I have now become
I have killed my head with all the whiskey and the rum
And I'm hurting so

Laying here in london my life feels so far away
I owe drinks to everyone, I have no means to pay
It hurts to think, it hurts to breath now in this room
And I don't want to end up all alone

Finally came around now and the autumn's setting in
Have a glass of vodka, I'll have a glass of gin
Drink away the night drink with the dying sun
I have killed my head with all the whiskey and the rum
And I'm hurting so

Leaving soon this stale room has been no help at all
I can't run and I can't walk, hell I can't even crawl
Feeling lost and feeling lonely, feel so far from home
And I don't want to end up all alone

Drove back to the country on a sunday afternoon
I am out of money, spent it all way back in June
Dead inside from sorrow, now you've spoiled all my fun
Dead inside from heartache, now I'm living like a bum
Dead inside from sorrow, now you've spoiled all my fun
And I have killed my head with all the whiskey and the rum
