lyrics

An empty whiskey bottle sits beside the kitchen sink
A reminder of the times before where they both may have said some things
Now sticks and stones may sometimes break your bones
But words can be as hard to mend
And in times like this she tends to reminisce
Before the drinking came and took her man

She said he looked like Levon Helm in his prime
With rugged looks and a delicate state of mind
But when the drinking started up again she said I can’t remain
I love you but I won’t watch you fade away
I love you but I won’t watch you fade away

A worn out crucifix still hangs above the bedroom door
Where she’d often sit and pray for him in the hope that God would not ignore
Now she longs for the time when he talked in rhyme
And his laugh would light the darkest day
And she still holds pride for what he was inside
Before the devil came to stake his claim

Repeat Chorus

Ooh, her faded memories
Ooh, she recalls in times like these
When she thinks of what they could have been
Before the bottle took control
And love ain’t sometimes strong enough to save a dying soul

Nowadays where his tombstone lays
She visits just to say a prayer
For the man she loved and what he was
Before the drinking drove his body there

Repeat Chorus
