lyrics

Five Thousand Days

Honey, the kids are crying.
And Honey, my patience is dying.
Sure, why not? Hell, take the house
The dog, the TV and the money.
I’ll just keep this old guitar
And two small things that call you Mummy.
Tomorrow you won’t remember this fight.
Honey, which bottle are you sleeping in tonight?

Honey, I’m so tired of being so afraid.
And Honey, I can barely talk to you these days.
Relax, I’ll put the kids to bed.
Just light a fag and pour another.
There’s no need to make a fuss,
I’m sure they know you’re a loving mother.
Tomorrow’s another chance to put it right.
Oh Honey, which bottle are you hiding in tonight?

Seems we’ve always felt this way,
Something like five thousand days.
I’m tired, and I don’t care anymore
About so much that’s so important.
I don’t know when I lost the will to fight.
Honey, here’s to us. I’m leaving you tonight.

J E Harrison
