whiskey dreams

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Dusty boots scuff the gravel where we left our goodbyes short Moonlight strings a trail where our wandering feet once courted Withered fenceposts lean on rusted spur scars in the ground Frayed dreams of you and me hang where the wind still sounds [Chorus] Fireflies stitch the dark to the edge of what I see Smoke curls thin above the creek where the catfish still run free All I need’s the ghost of your laugh tangled in my sleep Whiskey dreams, whiskey dreams, you’re all that’s left to keep [Verse 2] Our favorite record skips where the needle wore the groove thin I trace the cracks in the glass where your silhouette still spins A half-empty bottle sweats on the porch rail, cold and slow I swear I hear your voice in the crickets’ midnight glow [Chorus] Fireflies stitch the dark to the edge of what I see Smoke curls thin above the creek where the catfish still run free All I need’s the ghost of your laugh tangled in my sleep Whiskey dreams, whiskey dreams, you’re all that’s left to keep [Bridge] The fencepost finally fell last night, took our names with the rot I poured a shot for the years we forgot to stop and not Run from the quiet, run from the truth we both knew well Now the only warmth I find’s in the burn of the bourbon spell [Chorus] Fireflies stitch the dark to the edge of what I see Smoke curls thin above the creek where the catfish still run free All I need’s the ghost of your laugh tangled in my sleep Whiskey dreams, whiskey dreams, you’re all that’s left to keep [Outro] Withered fenceposts lean on rusted spur scars in the ground Frayed dreams of you and me hang where the wind still sounds (Instrumental Solo)
