Angela Mcclusky - A Thousand Drunken Dreams Lyrics

Lover loves me
but he loves somebody new
Lover wants me
to be his mother too
He don't recognize
his luck until his luck is through

He's a nightengale
I'm an ugly dove
I don't wanna speak
done said enough
no one can mend a human heart that's torn in two

(chorus)
In a moment's space he's gone
And my ship has run aground
And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken
If you leave me:
Lover, please leave me something.

You
Don't leave me diamonds
don't leave me jewels
you leave me silence
you leave me bruised
you leave me with the knowledge of the evil we do
But
Nothing could control the weather
And nothing could console my devils
And no-one knows the manner in which they'll burn

(chorus)

You wrapped me in the stained shroud of morning
and pulled the cord
You threw me through the stained-glass floor
you dropped me in the hole
a whole lot of nothing

(chorus)
