Tuning: Standard
Closer to death
Been many
miles since we last met
Still, it seems like I stood
still as
time passed b
y
That year my pride did sting
‘Cause for a young
man, it’s a terrible thing
To re
alise for the first t
ime that his
mother was ri
ght
Oh t
his old gin s
ling will keep me
satis
fied
Ah yeah, the
cold air won’t
blow and I can c
lose my eye
s
Ah she came to me
Her eyes full of s
orrow and empty of sleep
And
asked how it seemed
I’d been do
ing alr
ight (and I laughed)
It was a trick that she taught me
I drink so that I
sleep without having dreams
And w
hen I wake up in the
morning, o
h it is all I can
do to survive
Oh
this old gin s
ling keeps me
satisf
ied
Though it hurts
me more than I
know and takes a
way my m
ind
Oh but the closer I get to
home, fills me with d
read just to k
now
I’ll be a
lone with a b
ottle on the sh
elf
All right…
But I p
ut it down,
just as so
on as I rea
lised
Oh that the h
ard times, they do
n’t get bett
er
When l
ife goes in the s
hadows of
memories
The dark times make it
hard to remember
All the r
easons the g
ood times ended
We remain where ot
hers ca
nnot dwell
It’s n
ot our place to f
all where they
fell
Do you really think that makes a
nyone happy but yourse
lf?
Oh
this old gin
sling left me h
igh and d
ry
So I put it
back on the s
helf for a l
ittle wh
ile
Ah but I s
till pull it d
own every now and ag
ain
Not to t
oast what’s gone b
efore, but to a
ll that r
emains, yeah
Oh a
lways lost in m
emory, never to for
get
Laying l
ow with those g
hosts is my o
nly regre
