Man In a Bottle

Dead end story, dead end train, No girl left to find, no heart left to claim, Held back by the glasses and clinking of ice, The whiskey, the bar, the story of my life. Tears in the whiskey draw memories to view, A girl in my arms, our hearts born anew, The dress, the kiss, the vows and the love, Tears fall once more as I look up above. To the tattered old ceiling, a cobweb or two, Look past to the sky, like your eyes, colored blue, See your smile through rain, and your face through the sky, Goodbye sweet angel, forever goodbye. Fog my memory, take the reigns, With liquid fire, flood my veins, Pour it through and watch me burn, A man in a bottle with a lot to learn.
