"Here Lies The Fool" lyrics

"Here Lies The Fool"

Nights are getting long
And I'm getting restless
Been calling your line, hearing the dial
Damn it, I'm desperate

And I made this bed
And I gotta lay here without
The woman I love
So here lies the fool

When the empty whiskey sours become withered graveyard flowers
When buzzing neon lights break the silent midnight rule
Her memory I can't let go
The last words she said they echo
I made this bed, if this barstool was a headstone
Here lies the fool

Who couldn't quit the whiskey
Couldn't solve the pain
Couldn't do a damn thing
But make her miss me

I'd give her the world
If she'd just come back again
And breathe some life in this soul
Dig me out of this hole that I'm in

When the empty whiskey sours become withered graveyard flowers
When buzzing neon lights break the silent midnight rule
Her memory I can't let go
The last words she said they echo

I made this bed, if this barstool was a headstone
Here lies the fool

If anyone knows where she might be tonight
Tell her I'm here 'til the moon disappears
And I'm six drinks deep

When empty whiskey sours become withered graveyard flowers
When buzzing neon lights break the silent midnight rule
Her memory I can't let go
The last words she said they echo
I made this bed, if this barstool was a headstone
Here lies the fool
I made this bed, if this barstool was a headstone
Here lies the fool
