I Drink - Charles Aznavour[00:00:01]
I drink to drive away all the years I have hated[00:00:16]
The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive[00:00:19]
I drink day after day to the chaos behind me[00:00:23]
As I drink to remind me that I still am alive[00:00:27]
So I give you a toast to the endless confusions[00:00:30]
To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life[00:00:34]
Yes I give you a toast to the wine and the roses[00:00:38]
To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife[00:00:41]
I drink to catch a glimpse of the love we degraded[00:00:45]
Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon[00:00:49]
I drink I see the dream to my waiting desire[00:00:53]
To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon[00:00:57]
I drink and I drown in a promise you made me[00:01:01]
All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite[00:01:05]
When you took on the town when you looked for the[00:01:08]
Action[00:01:12]
When you took satisfaction like a whore in the night[00:01:12]
I drink to make believe that my life is worth living[00:01:16]
That the Gods are forgiving at the end of the day[00:01:20]
I drink because I grieve for dreams when we started[00:01:24]
For the innocent hearted who got lost on the way[00:01:27]
For the children unborn for their dead phantom faces[00:01:31]
For our sterile embraces in the tomb of your bed[00:01:35]
I drink and I mourn for the harvest that failed[00:01:39]
For the ship that has sailed for the hope that is[00:01:43]
Dead[00:01:46]
I drink to find the place where the darkness can hide[00:01:47]
Me[00:01:50]
Till the terror inside me can at last disappear[00:01:51]
I drink to my disgrace till oblivion claims me[00:01:54]
Till there's nothing that shames me till I'm blind to[00:01:58]
My fear[00:02:01]
Yes I drink till I burst till my own degradation[00:02:02]
Till the edge of damnation that is waiting below[00:02:06]
Yes I drink with a thirst that destroys and depraves[00:02:09]
Me[00:02:13]
Engulfs and enslaves me and will never let go[00:02:13]
I drink until I'm lost and the street is my hideout[00:02:18]
Where I will beat my pride out till I'm gasping for[00:02:21]
Breath[00:02:24]
I drink to count the cost of a life I despair for[00:02:25]
Until God hears my prayer for a compassionate death[00:02:29]
So I spit up my bile at the Gods who demean us[00:02:32]
At the silence between us at the love none can save[00:02:36]
For a life that is vile for a soul that is ailing[00:02:39]
For a body that's failing as it heads for the grave[00:02:43]
I drink without a care[00:02:47]
Drink because I must[00:02:50]
Drink for my despair[00:02:51]
I drink to your disgust[00:02:53]
I drink drink drink by God I drink[00:02:55]
Yes I drink[00:03:01]
