There is whiskey in the water

There is death upon the vine

There is fear in the eyes of your father

And there is "yours" and there is mine

There is a desert veiled in pavement

And there's a city of seven hills

And all our debris flows to the ocean

To meet again, I hope it will

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you

There's an answer in a question

There is hope within despair

There is beauty in a failure

And there are depths beyond compare

There is a role of a lifetime

And there's a song yet to be sung

And there's a dumpster in the driveway

Of all the plans that came undone

How could something so fair be so cruel

When this black sun revolved around you

There is whiskey in the water

There is death upon the vine

There is grace within forgiveness

But it's so hard for me to find
