"Pour Me A Drink"

Pour me a drink, light me a cigarette

Help me forget the things that I've done

Pour me a drink then pour me another one

To keep out this cold wind that blows through my soul

Look at my life here in these photographs

Look at these faces, what a story they tell

There was a time when I knew how to laugh

I'd drink to forget but I remember it well

Pour me a drink, light me a cigarette

Help me forget the things that I've done

Pour me a drink then pour me another one

To keep out this cold wind that blows through my soul

So many promises, so many daydreams and plans

So many chances that I let slip through my hands

Pour me a drink, light me a cigarette

Help me forget the things that I've done

Pour me a drink then pour me another one

Keep out this cold wind that blows through my soul
