My Life Is Sweet - Simon Joyner[00:00:00]
I met the drinker for a drink[00:00:48]
Back when I was drinking everything but the kitchen sink[00:00:54]
He said to meet him in the bar inside the Blackstone[00:01:00]
Which was famous for leaving the lights on[00:01:06]
I don't know why he picked that place[00:01:12]
It seems strange having other drinkers looking at your face[00:01:17]
Now as you know some drinkers drink alone[00:01:35]
They don't want anyone else around[00:01:41]
But like a trellis needs some ivy[00:01:47]
Like a spotlight needs a body[00:01:53]
This drinker needed company[00:01:59]
He needed me[00:02:06]
We sat together and we drank[00:02:16]
He said the night is always younger than you think[00:02:22]
He didn't have much on his mind[00:02:28]
He said it's nice to have someone around when you unwind[00:02:33]
Well I said anytime and he said thanks[00:02:39]
Then we sat in silence and we drank[00:02:46]
I can't recall the taxi home[00:02:55]
Whether I was awake or alone[00:03:00]
I felt the bed swallow my fall[00:03:06]
Then I heard is voice pouring down the hall[00:03:12]
And out into the streets and he was gone[00:03:18]
And I was back where I started from[00:03:23]
I got on my hands and on my knees[00:03:36]
And I asked the floor for release[00:03:42]
I was so heavy it felt like I was being squeezed[00:03:47]
Through the cracks in the wood into the black underneath[00:03:53]
So I closed my eyes and I was in the skies[00:03:59]
I closed my eyes and I was flying[00:04:04]
The taste of the air took me by surprise[00:04:11]
It was like alcohol and cotton[00:04:16]
For awhile I just flew around[00:04:48]
And that whole ugly city was on the ground[00:04:51]
Well it sure looked pretty on the ground[00:04:57]
I flowed beneath me then[00:05:01]
It was beneath[00:05:04]
The night is beautiful (I am forgiven)[00:05:07]
And my life is sweet[00:05:13]
