Darkness lures you to the bar-room,
And you don't return 'til dawn,
Does the bright lights make you happier,
Than what you've left at home.
Does drinking kill your conscience,
And turn your heart to stone,
If it holds such powers over you,
Then all our love is gone.
CHORUS:
Yes all our love is gone now,
Since the bottle took its place,
And the only thing that's left here,
Is the sorrow and disgrace.
The wine must have some power,
That I was born without,
For each night when the lights turned on,
It always takes you out.
When all your friends have left you,
To walk that road alone,
Then you'll have time to think about,
The many wrongs you've done.
You'll feel the hurt that follows,
The happy times you've known,
And then you'll know the reason,
Why all our love is gone.
CHORUS:
Yes all our love is gone now,
Since the bottle took its place,
And the only thing that's left here,
Is the sorrow and disgrace.
The wine must have some power,
That I was born without,
For each night when the lights turned on,
It always takes you out.
