The River

Yet another morning
That feels like this
Yet another life’s bitter kiss
It has been like this forâ?¦ I don’t know how long
I only know that at some point
It all went wrong
I don’t remember much from last night
But still far more than I would like to
I’m floating downstream that damned river again
What can I do now except continue
And open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
And float with the stream, off the shore
See where the river will take me
When I needed you, you weren’t thereâ?¦
Now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe
With each drink I’m drifting further away from your world
The further off I get the harder it will be to return
It has been like this forâ?¦ I don’t know how long
I only know that at some point
It all went wrong
Floating downstream that damned river again
The river that’s distilled from premium grain
What can I do now except continue
And open a bottle once more
What can I do now except see this through
And float with the stream, off the shore
See where the river will take me
See where the river will take me
