WHISKEY SONG © Peter James Armstrong, 2010 (Sonic Deli/SOCAN) this old soul was born to die rushing down cobble hill I saw a bird draw its last breath - yesterday like dried ink on a poet’s quill these streets they don’t look the same like a cowboy’s hallelujah whiskey song . when the banks of the river are about break you know you've been here for far too long i watched lady liberty drag her feet to the beat of a distant drum she's on her way back from Galilee waiting for the revelation to come this empty house has a ghost in her veins like a strung out angel walking on warm snow when the banks of the river are about break you know you've been here for far too long …you’ve been here for far too long (instrumental bridge) this empty house has a ghost in her veins like a strung out angel walking on warm snow when the banks of the river are about break you know you've been here for far too long …you’ve been here for far too long
