Shoshana Bean - Gin and Cigarettes Lyrics
She sits alone at the end of a tableMuch too big for oneOnce there were partiesThe glasses and chairs were fullNow the glamour's goneNothing but time to build a case for regretNothing but time for gin and cigarettesMem'ries repeat with each skip of the recordLong forgotten dreamsMusic that played as a soundtrack throughout her lifeKeeps her companyDrinking to remember, drinking to forgetDrinking gin and smoking cigarettesChildren grow and leave they tell youYour best has left them scarredHusbands are no betterThey only have so many ticks in their heartsWatching the birds as they fly past her windowThrough the smoke her eyes burnEven though life clipped her wings oh so long agoStill the heart it yearnsSoon there's not enough to ease the painAnd she's drowning, drowningShe made her choices, she hedged her betsNow all that's left is gin and cigarettes
