Castle Rock Influence
Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown
I screw the cork from the Castle Rock
And here I go again, scribbling words down
The feelings linger, but yet can’t be found
My heart still hasn't learned to walk
Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown
Someday I’m going to drive to her town
I’m gonna’ go up to her door and knock
And here I go again, scribbling words down
I’m wasted and my mind is nowhere around
The ticks and tocks are falling from the clock
Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown
Dylan’s music was her perfect sound
She wrote all his lyrics down with chalk
And here I go again, scribbling words down
She was always my dearest proper noun
But she threw away the only key to her lock
Tonight I’m going to drink until I drown
And here I go again, scribbling words down
(Written for Anne's Villanelle contest, never wrote one of these before. I like this form!)
