Whiskey For Water

Touch the face of an angel Return again the innocence Begin again along this road Another face, another road Said the Toad to the Frog "Crossing this road takes skill and daring" Replied the Frog "Everyone's staring and waiting for your daring self to cross and get splattered on the street". Milkshakes in the snowstorm? Hot coffee in the heat of summer? Bare feet on the rocky shores? "You're doing it all wrong". Even the songs you pick are off center, Blues for a wedding party, Metallica for the Funeral And whiskey for water. You should start all over Being careful which roads you choose And keep an open mind Else you'll miss it all again.
