There’s a quiet in the house tonight
Shadows bleeding through the candlelight
I hold your picture by my side
Like you never said goodbye
I pour another memory flashback
Every sip just brings me back
I let them burn with all the lies
Like the last look in your eyes
So I close my eyes
And dream of the sky
While singing to myself
A whiskey lullaby
Your jacket’s folded on the chair
Like you’re still standing there
Your voice is drifting down the hall
Soft as if you’d call
I trace the dust along the frame
Still whispering your name
The clock keeps ticking slow and dry
Like it forgot the reason why
So I close my eyes
And dream of the sky
While singing to myself
A whiskey lullaby
If I could see you in a dream
Somewhere in between
I’d tell you all I kept inside
All the truth I let slide
So I close my eyes
And dream of the sky
While singing to myself
A whiskey lullaby
