Elvis Perkins - The Night and the Liquor

Submitted by Dee

And now the night and the liquor wear off
I see your sister more clear
now that the sun has warmed the sky
won't you sleep my lady
go to sleep baby
no I can't sleep now baby
it's true I loved her then, yes
and you deserve far better than this mess
it's true I loved her then forever
but now it's you that I love always loved never

Now the night and the liquor coming on
I hardly see your sister
now that the stars own the sky
won't you come back lady
no I won't come back baby
for I love rivers lately
