I Am Drinking Again - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

i am drinking again,

im on my 7th cold glass of gin

life is a tribute to you, and so is dying

and drinking in this way

to die is what im trying

i also try to keep my love

in case an angel loves me

and lifts me up with angel hoofs

to someplace high above me

i am drinking again,

im on my 9th warm glass of gin

people argue with me

but i have never been stronger

nor held so strong a feeling

inside of me longer

with no one at all knowing

oh but i know

just what i need to live this life

and all of us here

raise our eyes and our spirits

our hands and our voices

that your ears may hear it

i am drinking again,

and i toast you

you never will know

what it is that i do
