Mary Coughlan Whiskey Didn't Kill The Pain
The whiskey didn't kill the pain,
I walked for hours in the rain
Through the dark streets and lanes,
The night you left me
The whiskey didn't help at all,
In fact it even made me fall
I needed the support of the wall,
The night you left me
With nowhere to go
I was going nowhere,
And going there real slow,
Knowing that you wouldn't be there
The whiskey didn't help at all,
In fact it even made me crawl
I needed the support of the wall,
The night you left me
If you had stayed with me my fiery lover
By now you'd be an amber in my brain
And all my thoughts of you would have no power
Like ashes are water down the drain
Oh, the whiskey didn't kill the pain,
I walked for hours in the rain
Through the dark streets and lanes,
The night you left me
No, the whiskey didn't help at all,
In fact it even made me fall
I needed the support of the wall,
The night you left me
Na-na, na-na...
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na,
Na-na-na, na-na, na-na,
Na-na-na-na...
If you had stayed with me my fiery lover
By now you'd be an amber in my brain
And all my thoughts of you would have no power
Like ashes are water down the drain
Oh, the whiskey didn't kill the pain,
I walked for hours in the rain
Through the dark streets and lanes,
The night you left me
No, the whiskey didn't help at all,
In fact it even made me fall
I needed the support of the wall,
The night you left me
Na-na, na-na, the night you left me...
Na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na, na-na, the night you left me...
The night you left me...
The night you left me...
