about

Originally written for my father, this song has taken on far more than my dad.

lyrics

I sit beside you out on the deck
You breathe deep on your cigarette
We drink the wine dry
Beneath the streetlight
You spin afew jokes but then start to reveal
your secret regret

You’ll have one last smoke then go to bed
You try to tell another joke but you forget
We’re running out of time
As clouds kill the moonlight
Rain starts to fall & you say you’re feeling tired
& I’m feeling tired
We’re both Black Dog Tired

But I’ll stay here
with you

I’ll stay here
with you

You say it’s time to call it a night
You go inside to turn out the lights
But you come back to the table a new pack of smokes
And two strong rum & cokes
I sit beside you out on the deck
And I listen
as you smoke that pack of cigarettes

I’ll stay here
with you
