Whiskey and Shadows

[Verse]
A bottle’s empty the clock’s too slow
Streetlights hum where the cold winds blow
My shadow’s longer than my weary soul

[Chorus]
Whiskey and shadows keep me alive
I drink to forget but the memories thrive
Oh whiskey and shadows they cut like a knife

[Verse 2]
Cigarette smoke dances in the air
Lonely hearts gather but no one cares
The jukebox cries but the room just stares

[Prechorus]
I asked the moon why it hides its face
It laughed and whispered you’ve lost your place

[Chorus]
Whiskey and shadows keep me alive
I drink to forget but the memories thrive
Oh whiskey and shadows they cut like a knife

[Bridge]
The devil’s in my pocket singing my tune
He’s been here since the dark afternoon
Said you’re running circles but the end’s too soon
