Drinking in the Day Lyrics

Drinking in the day
And I will again tomorrow
Drinking in the day
I'll be drowning all my sorrow

And I know that you've been stepping over me
And I know that home is ever far from me
Drinking in the day and I will again tomorrow

I've always been afraid
Of the things I've had to run from
But God I miss the grey skies of England

Got to keep me moving I cannot go to sleep
And deliver me safely away from all my dreams
Drinking in the day and I will again tomorrow

And Lord knows I've tried, Lord knows I've tried
And Lord knows I've tried, Lord knows I've tried
Tried to die

Drinking in the day
Drinking in the day
Yeah, I used to have a purpose
but now I'm only drinking in the day
I used to have a purpose
but now I'm only drinking in the day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
