lyrics

You were a dream to me dear, I thought you were near
But you left me so far away
I thought you were true, but it made me so blue
When I saw you alone the next day

You like to go into the city
There’s nothing you like like downtown
You like to go into the barroom
And you don’t like me hanging around

You like to drink beer, it makes you feel freer
But I know the truth of it is
You want to forget the time that we met
You wish you weren’t mine but were his

Remember back then, on the farm it began
We grew up a mile apart
I stole you away, on your wedding day
We left him with a broken heart

We could not wait for tomorrow
That would be our special day
But our joy transformed into sorrow
When the bottle just stole you away

Now everything’s done, none of us won
We’re three separate people again
The ending looks grim, for me you and him
And the bottle is easing your pain

It’s not very far, to your favourite bar
Where you go almost every day
I see you down there, alone in your chair
You’re only six metres away

I’d rather you left me for someone
You seem to have lost all your cares
But you left me all by my lonesome
Now my dream has become a nightmare

It’s not him or me, the answer I see
As the bottle approaches your lips
Your love has withdrawn, and the distance it’s gone
Is measured in millions of sips
