about

Written by Ben Hall and Samuel Barker (ASCAP)

lyrics

Sally crushes pills with her boot heels on
She’s never been the same with her old man gone
Polyester silhouettes prance on the lawn all night

Tuesday was a bust and tomorrow will be
Something sordid in her diary
Scratching pain in calligraphy she cries

It’s another day gone by
Trading the water for the wine
And you don’t know why
Drag your tears through the sunshine

Shutters on the window make an awful sound
She scatters to think with the wind blowing around
And everybody in this town knows

That lonely is a verb and sorrow is a state
Forgotten are the words written too late
Tattoos of love, they just lie

It’s another day gone by
Trading the water for the wine
And you don’t know why
Drag your tears through the sunshine

Projector slides from the days of old
Flow through her mind like fool’s gold
But it’s the only thing she has that’s real

It’s another day gone by
Trading the water for the wine
And you don’t know why
Drag your tears through the sunshine
