The Drinker

Added 1425244678 by Poppy Radcliffe.

Don't say I'm not a drinker

For that I really am

The outward face of sobriety

Well, that one is the sham

For when I am on my own

It's all I think about

The luscious golden liqueur

That takes away my doubt

That allows me to forget

That leads to fitful rest

That takes the days asunder

And clears them off my chest

Don't say I'm not a drinker

For I drink every day

I don't know how to carry on

I cannot stay this way

Don’t say I'm not a drinker

But take my hand and laugh

And tell me that we'll change this

That I'm on the right path

For sure I will defeat this

I'll do my very best

But now I'd like some vodka

And fitful awful rest.
