Lyrics

You gave me all you had in you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
All of the butterflies died or flew away

There was a place we didn't go
A part of me you didn't know
When I was young, I threw my life away

Dry your eyes now, don't you cry
Lay your head down, while I say goodbye
With my drunkard's lullaby

When we were in our golden age
I didn't want to turn the page
These are the times I'll treasure all my life

Someday you'll soon wake up to find
That I'm no longer on your mind
You'll rise from your bed and walk out in the rain

Barefoot on the broken glass
I feel nothing, all the tears I cannot cry
Are in my drunkard's lullaby

Hold me one time and then be on your way
You'll be alright at the end of the day
I've got my bottle and you've got your life
So go out and be someone's wife

Maybe we'll meet on the avenue
Maybe your kids will ask you who
Who was the guy who seemed to know your name?

Maybe you won't even recognize,
The afternoon sun got in your eyes
Maybe you'll turn your head and walk away

Dry your eyes now, don't you cry
Lay your head down, while I say goodbye
With my drunkard's lullaby
