Whiskey's Verse

She never smelled like whiskey
I always made her cry
I thought that she would miss me
In my Irish lullaby.

I saw her in the bottle
I turned up to quench my fire
My love it burned full-throttle
Just enough to ease her ire.

She'll never age or leave me
In my heart between the lie
May the words be never easy
In my Irish lullaby.
