WHISKY IN THE MORNING

The bedside clock showed just after four 
No sleep during the night he knew for sure
Stumbled down his stairs in a wobbly haze 
Whisky on the sideboard caught his gaze 

Took the dirtiest cleanest glass from the sink
Whisky in there before he had time to think
Four in the morning is a most lonely time 
Drinking whisky is certainly no crime 

Knocked the drink back in only one swallow 
Filled a void and also it filled a hollow 
Went back upstairs and laid on his bed 
The whisky now messing with his head 

Sleep deprivation and whisky is a lethal mix
He thinks it's the answer to a short term fix
Just be careful would be my advice to he 
For an example dear man just look at me
