Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

WISHFUL DRINKING
Copyright © 2003 - mickterry.com

Okay, so you're gone.
It's not the first time
you're not there just to kiss me home.
It's not the first time
that this house is as cold as stone.
No flowers in the hall.
No cheery "How's your day been?"
It's not the first time I'm alone.

    Just some WISHFUL DRINKING on my- part,
    WISHFUL thINKING from my- heart.
    Wasted spinning of my brain inside my head
    of new beginnings where you come back to our bed.
    'Cause there's no winning when my heart's
    still so stuck on you.

Okay, so you're gone.
It's not the last time
I'll wake up and I'm on your side.
It's not the last time
there's an ache that will not subside.
No kisses in the dark.
No comfort when it's needed.
It's not the last time I have tried.

    CHORUS

        Not the first time, not the last time,
        it's becoming more of the same.
        Not the first time, but the last time
        that we both ran all our games
        'til we reached a screeching climax
        waking neighbors on both sides.
        'Til we reached a screeching climax
        that nobody could survive.

Okay, so you're gone.
It's not the worst time
there's a tear running down my cheek.
It's not the worst time
you're not there when I start to speak.
No answer to my prayers.
No friendship beyond loving.
It's not the worst time I will see.

    CHORUS
