In a whiskey dream

Lyrics

On a cold black night, neath a starless sky
You’ll come to me, my dear
Walk through my door, so derelict and pure
And bury all these years

I’ll meet you in a whiskey dream
In a cinnamon dress, your long hair flowing,
You’ll dance with me
Dance with me
In a whiskey dream

You will tell me how, still you’ve stayed
So faithful and so true
Oh my love, I have been waiting
A thousand years for you

I’ll meet you in a whiskey dream
In a cinnamon dress, your long hair flowing,
You’ll dance with me
Dance with me
In a whiskey dream

And we’ll run through the fields with the devil on our heels
Laughing like children, though we know we may die
And we’ll run through the fields with the devil on our heels
In the sky are our jewels,
Here’s mud in your eye!

We’ll dance so close, your head on my shoulder
All my thoughts run wild
And the smell of your hair is the smell of the ocean
When I was a child

I’ll meet you in a whiskey dream
In a cinnamon dress, your long hair flowing,
You’ll dance with me
Dance with me
In a whiskey dream
I’ll meet you in a whiskey dream
In a cinnamon dress, your long, black hair flowing,
You’ll dance with me
Dance with me
In a whiskey dream
