Well, if you live in dusty twilight, baby, that's OK
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day
And you can take them back to lie with you in this ingenious room
But they can never take the pain away, or brighten all the gloom
And if your hands are clenched with sorrow, may it help you ease your pain
And though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain
Well, if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me
And if you're hit with painful memories, maybe then you'll see
That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps you company
Then just remember who you're loosing and be proud to set me free
Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just makes you see so hazily
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind
Well, they tell you on the telephone to let him go
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship
And he's trying to pull you down, don't you know?
But every time you call me up, say you want me back, you know you break my heart
You want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey
My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray
And if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey
