The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

And the Earth Cried

Reaching deep through broken sleep
I travel to a realm where the shooting stars streak
Across desert sands, where rivers weep
And wander thru the caverns the angels keep
And the Earth cried
An eagle sighs, while mother earth cries
The wolf cub sees the future,
In his mothers eyes,
And the doves love song becomes a desperate cry
And the Earth cried
Willows gasp for air, in this smokey lair
Crickets quit singing their midnight fare
Man turns a blind eye, like he doesnt care,
Falling headlong in the devils snare
Acting like he was never aware.
And the Earth cried.
