While I'd like a glass of whiskey,

It will not change my mind.

So if it's offered for that reason,

Or if you're just being kind.



Chorus



I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

I won't try to explain.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

It's much too hard, to explain.



So take some comfort in that whiskey,

It's often been my friend,

And if it warms a lonely body,

Well who's to say it's bad.



Repeat Chorus



If kindness takes a little longer

It's worth the extra time,

Some have lives so long in darkness,

They don't even recognise the light.

Understand, there's a child in everyone,

We should watch what we say.

Everyone has their battles and their pain,

Hidden somewhere away.



Repeat Chorus
