No Celebration

In the whiskey hours, I sit mourning
 But the morning brings no consolation
 Sun is rising, sky is yawning
 The new day brings no celebration
 No celebration
 Reminds me life is hard
 Here in my back yard
 And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
 And my life passes by
 And I lie here suffering, wondering
 How long, how long
 In a sea of silence, I lay wondering
 But with it comes no real solution
 Dreams die young in this world of violence
 Just to be betrayed by revolution, revolution
 Still my life is hard here in my back yard
 And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
 As my life passes by
 And I lie here suffering, wondering
 How long, how long
 We are only the beginning here
 None of us will reach the end
 So hold me close like an angel
 With your breath draw me in
 Feel me swim through your bloodstream
 Hear my voice, soft but clear
 After today things will never be the same
 I'm sorry for you, my dear
 In a world of darkness
 We are surrounded, surrounded by eternity
 We reach out but no love abounds us
 Guess we traded it for sanity
 Still my life is hard here in my back yard
 And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
 And my life passes by
 And I lie here suffering, wondering
 How long, how long
 In the whiskey hours, I sit mourning
 But the morning brings no consolation
 Sun is rising, sky is yawning
 But the new day brings no celebration
