Whiskey LullabyeA Poem by Blake Q Hatfield
One more sip and the world is better
One more taste and everything is quieter One more to weather this sad storm One more reason to keep living life Dance with me my friend A whiskey tango off three sheets to the wind A far better time than drier, darker days I don't need the sun anymore The bottle will do just fine A whiskey lullaby It rocked to sleep last night I did dream, I did not stir For once I had that lack worry as I rested my bones A whiskey lullaby never says a word It just helps you deal and get to the next episode One more drink to reach beyond the harsh day One more shot to quiet the worry down One more to forget how much my heart aches One more for all the mistakes and broken trust One more for all the times I believed Sing to me sweet and smokey Sway me like the field of grain Fuel me like the strong pete Gently rock me with a whiskey lullaby So I may sleep and learn to forget Every reason I've sipped away © 2010 Blake Q Hatfield |
