Unknown Song

We started out as children until the years got in our eyes. 

We swapped our hearts for manhood and wore that grim disguise. 

There were secrets and confusions about myths we thought were true.

I fell in love with Nancy, she fell in love with you.

So me I took to poetry, the sea of lonely souls.

I cloaked myself in innocence and freed my life from goals.

You cursed my independence, I scoffed your worldly life.

I had barroom girls for lovers, you had boredom for your wife.

So here we sit like strangers and drink our habits down.

Me the bleeding introvert, you the jockstrap clown.

We talk about the old times and force those hollow smiles

Until the whiskey comes between us and eases all the miles.

Until the whiskey comes between us and erases all the miles. 

 

Name of song and songwriter unknown to me.
