Blood Or Whiskey Even Her Love
I wondered why she looked so lonely
And I wondered why he was not by her side
After a while I chanced to ask her
He's feeling so bad she said I don't know why
They took him off last week to the hospital
He was a danger to himself they said
Something went wrong so deep inside his him
Now I'm like a stranger standing by his bed
Still she wonders where he goes
wonders why and how
But even her love can't reach him
Even her love can't reach him
Even her love can't reach him
The way he's feeling now
What could it be that takes him so far away
So far inside himself where he can hide
I watched him fight this as it dragged him down
Into a place so dark and cold she cried
She looked so tired and strained as she spoked to me
I looked for words to say to ease her pain
Still we both knew he'd come through this once before
And we just hoped he'd do the same again.
