drunk and entwined

along the railway line

haven’t seen you this happy

in a long time

since the last decade

seems all the bad bottles finally paid off

seems all you sad lovers

gather moss

D G

but the sun is in the bay

D G

loose on a quiet day

with an indurance of three

D G

I got down on my good knee

good hand on the wounded

with one sentence I’d destroy it all

D G

but nature cooled it

so call it a draw

D G

you got your teenage memorial

D G

and I got free alcohol

drunk and alone

on a road called home

the story’s old

but I won’t let go
