An Ode to Whiskey

These late night libations

Warm comfort for my soul

Hanging out and drinking

I don’t want to go home.

Been staring since morning

Into your golden come-hither eye

And the lip of this glass

Is my temptress’ smile.

These late night libations

Liquid kisses for my soul

I’d rather spend my time with you

I don’t want to go home.

When no-one else had the time

You always stuck around

And always when they closed the door

Your hot embrace is what I found.

So pop that cork and fill me up

Let it spill over the brim

And keep singing your sweet love song

Because it helps to ease the pain.

These late night libations

Like an ever burning flame

Intoxicated conversations

That keeps me sane.

Sing to me and hold me tight

And never let me go

The sweet lullaby of your oblivion

Is all I want to know.

Just keep talking to me Amber

Keep saying that I’m okay

And one day I promise

Your love will be repaid.
