Mint & Whiskey
DeBenedictis
The idea for this song came from a Classic Star Trek episode.
tonight we will all sleep soundly
where there’s no midnight oil
to burn
and i’ll lay dreamless
by your side
here, where the flowers never die.
…but i know that it’s wrong,
that this life cannot be painless
yeah, i know that it’s wrong,
we were not meant for this.
i’ve found the perfect mix:
cold mint and whiskey on my lips
at first you sip, then drink it all down
i could drown
i could drown
i heard some angry siren call me
my lover fades before my eyes
i woke up and lost it all
my ship is sailing…goodbye
tonight we will all sleep soundly
where there’s no midnight oil
to burn
and i’ll lay dreamless
by your side
here, where the flowers never die.
…but i know that it’s wrong,
