Tea & Whiskey from Fireweed Songs by Matthew Stoker

washing down vitamin d pills
with beer swill
from the dimly lit hotel bar

i've got a flask in my breast pocket
for refills
when the 3 am last call cries

i know i will see the sunrise again
but right now i can't believe it

i fell asleep in the graveyard
my back on the hard ground
the soft snow made a sound

when i fell on it in my parka
the wolves howled
and my loneliness abounded

i know i will wake up somewhere warm soon
but right now i can't believe it

so what do you need
so what do you need
to get thru?

tea and whiskey and fine tuning
of your heart strings
in an open key
in the people's key
