Jess Silk - Drink Up Your Whiskey

It's bitter cold down by the river
And the backstreets are teaming with life
You offered up all you could give her
Now her ghost walks the streets by your side

A half hidden face in the doorway
Or lost to the rush of the crowd
Now walking the path we must all take
Her answers to never be found

So drink up your whiskey my friend
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
So drink up your whiskey my friend

The voices all lost to the darkness
As you push through the crowds who stood there
A place full of the cruel and the heartless
She just needed somebody to care

Now you're drowning yourself at the bottom
Of a bottle amongst all the dregs
Those faces that can't be forgotten
Now swimming round inside your head

So drink up your whiskey my friend
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
So drink up your whiskey my friend

Now all of the earth's been raked over
And all of the seas have been swept
You made it your mission to know her
To save her and whatever's left

Now these streets are a painful reminder
Of the answers that couldn't be found
And the only place now you might find them
Is buried six feet underground

So drink up your whiskey my friend
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
So drink up your whiskey my friend

So drink up your whiskey my friend
I've seen this before and I know how it ends
I'll carry you home and my shoulder I'll lend
So drink up your whiskey my friend
