Whiskey, whiskey, save me now
and bring me closer to
a better understanding how
the world fades from view.
Whiskey, whiskey, lay me down
help to rest my soul.
The one I lost and never found
a lifetime ago.
Whiskey, whiskey, sing to me
sing soft and high.
Until these eyes close, fast asleep
let time pass me by.
Whiskey, whiskey, take me home
carry me back where
the dogwoods bloom and those wildflowers grow.
Carry me there.
This began as a poem of which my Father was the topic. After a couple weeks of struggling for new music, though, I applied this thought to a simple chord progression and found a way in which this song applied to myself just the same.
