Amos Lee - Whiskey On Ice Lyrics






I see you pour whiskey on ice
It's what you've known of sacrifice
Stumbling down this empty hall
Pictures stare back on the wall

I can see the light
Starting to take shape
I can see the sun
Seeking out escape
I can see the moon
Slowly creeping in
Worlds are dying high she said
Anytime you wear the wind
When you wear the wind

You said he was your only son
He gave himself to everyone
In the end the loss was yours
Now you pace upon these floors

Looking for the light
Finding its own shape
While the sun, it falls
Seeking its escape
Moon is coming in
Stars are hiding high
Where are you my son
Where are you right now

Looking for the light
Finally found your shape
While the sun, it falls
Tumbling down my face
Moonlight crashing in
Like waves upon the shore
You are the at the gate
Waiting to find
All the fortune that you lost that night
That night
Was a new moon
My new moon
My new moon

    [Verse 1]
    I see you pour whiskey on ice
    Is what you've known a sacrifice?
    Stumblin' down this empty hall
    Pictures stare back on the wall

    [Chorus]
    I can see the light startin' to take shape
    I can see the sun seekin' out escape
    I can see the moon slowly creepin' in
    World's a dying house, you said any time you wear the wind
    When you wear the wind

    [Verse 2]
    Said he was your only son
    Gave himself to everyone
    In the end the loss was yours
    Now you pace upon these floors

    [Chorus 2]
    Lookin' for the light findin' its own shape (light, shape)
    While the sun falls seekin' its escape (falls, its escape)
    Moon is comin' in, stars are hidin' high (stars)
    Forever in my soul, where are you right now? (in my soul)

    [Chorus 3]
    Lookin' for the light, finally find your shape
    While the sun, it falls tumblin' down my face
    Moonlight crashin' in like waves upon the shore
    You are at the gate waitin' 'til you find
    All the fortune that you lost that night

    [Outro]
    That night was a new moon
    My new moon
    My new moon

    Don't care for this one. Simply put. It's lacking that rythmic flow Amos Usually provides in his music. This one drags for me.
