Liquid Courage
The amber liquid swirls in its glass
As I remember the events of the past
There are so many twists and turns
I really have so much to learn
And just when I think I know what I want
The amber liquid has run out
So bartender fill er up again
Keep em coming til I say when
I feel so bad today
He up and went away
And now this is my only friend
On who I must depend
It listens to me and never speaks
It allows me to feel strong
Even when I am weak
It gives me the courage to move on
Even if I am wrong
It's always there waiting in the glass
To help me forget the mistakes of the past
The future does get bright
The more I drink throughout the night
So keep my glass filled to the brim
And just maybe I'll forget about him
It's late now, the amber liquid is gone
But I feel free and strong
I stagger home to make my bed
Having obliverated him from my head
I smile and turn off the light
Feeling better about the night
But in the early morning dawn
My head is throbbing and I know I was wrong
As once again I realize he is gone
The liquid kept the pain at bay
But rushing back it came
In the cold light of day
