I keep a packet of smokes in the back of my desk drawer Once you asked What the hell are these for? Tonight is what they are there for When nostalgia drives my guiltless heart to Gates Pass To that veranda to search graffiti it has amassed For where we wrote our initials and swore a love steel cast Yeah, we swore our love was as strong as steel cast You’re as stubborn as saguaros and guarded like your father And it’s a wonder we believed we could last Through that dry heat and summer with ghosts and your mother Filling much more than water in your glass There was much more than water in your glass Oh, our love turned dour You sipped whiskey sours I told you I’d try—I would stay You raised up that gun But I still didn’t run You’re the one that drifted away Yeah, you’re the one that drifted away Memories of me and the life we shared coming back You know I give it my all, there was nothing for you to lack But a diet of booze and fear threw you off track So I get it, that morning when you left so fast I kept hanging on but come morning you left so fast Now don’t you dare spread a lie that I didn’t fight ‘til the end When you’re alone in a bar with excuses as your only friends I can’t comfort you now but oh, Lord, I tried back then Don’t you dare even cry I promise I will not give in Drink up your rye and tell yourself comfort’s within Drink up your rye and tell yourself comfort’s within With a quickness you will fill the bed I slept in Put a man by your side, declaring I win But I’d rather sleep easy after saying amen Then stay awake like you counting up your sins Cause if you didn’t know You’re covered head to toe with them Oh, our love turned dour You sipped whiskey sours I told you I’d try—I would stay You raised up that gun But I still didn’t run You’re the one that drifted Our love turned dour You sipped whiskey sours I told you I’d try—I would stay You raised up that gun But I still didn’t run You’re the one that drifted away Yeah, you’re the one that drifted away I found love, and you drifted away I found love after you walked away I found a love that keeps me warm So don’t you dare come back home Cause you walked away Drink up your rye and tell yourself comfort’s within My conscious is clear, don’t even begin One day as you count your mistakes with chagrin I know you will know walking away was one of them Walking away from me was the greatest of them No it wasn’t my fault, it was your mistake in the end You walked away, so I ain’t one of them Yeah, it was you I ain’t one of them
