Angela Mccluskey A Thousand Drunken Dreams Lyrics

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 nightingale, I'm an ugly dove

I don't wanna speak, said enough

No one can mend this human heart that's torn in two



In a moment's space he's gone

And my ship has run aground

And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken

When 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 he'll burn



In a moment's space he's gone

And my ship has run aground

And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken

When you leave me, lover, please leave me something



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, whole lot of nothing



In a moment's space he's gone

And my ship has run aground

And a thousand drunken dreams are sunken

When you leave me, lover, please leave me something
