The Kisses Of Grief

This lonely night
Will be the last
Life comes so slowly
And vanishes so fast,
Like tearful drops of whisky
In the bottom of a glass.

*I’ve got drunk in other lips
In search of relieve
But I’ve only found sadness
In the kisses of grief.

This pain inside
Is far too deep
Like the green of those eyes
That haunts me in my sleep.
This bittersweet spell
Will send me down to hell.

*I’ve got drunk in other lips
In search of relieve
But I’ve only found sadness
In the kisses of grief.

The banging of a gun shot
Will go straight through my brain
Just as lightning and thunder
Precede the pouring rain.

My blood will spill
And yet it’ll be the same
Those falling tears of madness
On the floor will write your name.

All I take with me
Are your memories so kind
And leaving behind
Those kisses of grief.

*I’ve got drunk in other lips
In search of relieve
But I’ve only found sadness
In the kisses of grief.​
