Tequila Lullaby

Another cloudy day

I feel the same way raindrops do,

Content to continue a life,

Filled with displeasing truth

Another sleepless night

Makes a story, buried at the bottom of a glass

Another foggy eyed memory

Added to my tethered mast

I swam out to far,

A broken sail

This life’s too short

Now my mind has finally been topped off

With thoughts of that sort

By now I can’t wrap my mind around

The familiarity of homeport

I’ve left for good

This time for sure

I swear my mind is set

Though I can’t remember the first breath

Of this bitter cigarette

I’ve left in search of another

Cloudy minded, starless night sky

My mothers voice a distant memory

My tequila lullaby
