I drifted off from out of the bed Time moving quick in which I just couldn't shake I was looking for some place to just disappear With a [?] I knew I never could [?] I found myself the same place I always wound up With a gla** in my hand that was not full enough And a band played that bar There was a girl up front singing She was a dead ringer from Jacqui McShee I went up on that hill not so long ago We were out of control but we were too young to know The salt of your sweat had me hooked there and then On a sunny spring day I couldn't help but give in In the rainy [?] as we made our way home The whole time I thought that you wouldn't know From the first time I heard it that tune always got me
And you sang right along [?] with Jacqui McShee I'm not the man that I used to be And everything's changed now between you and me I can't see a future but I can sure taste the paste And I'm caught in a prison that keeps coming on fast I got up in heaven one day you'll play me a tune By the grace of your mercy it won't be too soon If I can hold off my demons and keep them at bay If I can stave off the darkness for the light of the day But when my time comes I am going to let it all go And I'll crash those gates like a drunkard coming home While Gabriel plays the sweet melody I will hear the voice of the angel that sings just like Jacqui McShee
