The moon it washes my face in silver glow

A purple satin drapes the sky so low

I stand here forgotten in the night's own den

Lonely and lost in a world without a friend

Life's warmth was fleeting oh it slipped away

No solace found in wine's dark disarray

The one I loved her smile's faded too

In the shadows of the past where memories brew

For what reason tell me why do I drink

How can you judge when on this ship we sink

On this drunken planet I came to be

A life so spun by fate's cruel decree

Underneath these stars where dreams dissolve

The aching heart it finds no resolve

Whispered woes they float on night’s soft air

A question echoing is anybody there

For what reason tell me why do I drink

How can you judge when on this ship we sink

On this drunken planet I came to be

A life so spun by fate's cruel decree

For what reason tell me why do I drink

How can you judge when on this ship we sink

On this drunken planet I came to be

A life so spun by fate's cruel decree
