Now the night and the liquor wear off,
I see your sister more clear.
Now that the sun has won the sky,
Won’t you sleep my lady?
Won’t you sleep baby?
No, I can’t sleep now, baby.
It’s true, I loved her then, yes.
And you deserve far better than this mess.
It’s true, I loved her then, forever.
But now it’s you that I love always for now.
Now the night and the liquor coming on,
I hardly see your sister.
Now that the stars own the sky
Won’t you come back, baby?
No I won’t come back, baby,
For I love mariners(?) lately.
This song makes me so sad. It's so beautiful and tragic, and I think the line "It's true I loved her then forever, but now it’s you that I love always for now," if correct, is a fantastic line that explains relationships perfectly.
