Drunk Again - Graham Shaw

i am drunk again,

i am drunk again,

one more night spent darkly dreaming.

the moon’s gone down, the stars receding

sun’s coming up and it’s daylight pleading.

singing hope and fear

hope and fear

trumpets play the wars and the dance halls

children kiss the soldier bravely falls

the sun’s coming up

and it’s daylight bleeding.

one more man and

one more voice and

one more song about the same old choice

and i’m drunk again, i am drunk again,

and all this pain can’t stop my believing

and all this joy can’t stop my grieving,

the sun’s coming up now,

and it’s time i was asleep.
