The Morning Keeps Coming
These days the cold
doesn't seem so cold
I still feel it, but I 've learned
to enjoy the feeling
of cold air in my lungs,
punctuating the
drags on my cigarette
This time last year I
was trying to drink
myself to death
Now I drink to mock death, and I'm
sitting in the corner with a notebook
and a whiskey
listening to some country band play
songs from sixty years ago
While so many of my friends are quitting the drink-
I guess this business of dancing with death every night
isn't for everyone. . .
But the morning keeps coming
with bright lights to
hurt our eyes and
clear our mind
And we keep on with the same old dance
Round and round, you step left, I step right
and we joke about how nobody here
really knows what they're doing
And we all just keep on dancing
