Whiskey Didn't Kill the Pain - Mary Coughlan

The whiskey didn’t kill the pain

I walked for hours in the rain

Through the dark streets and lanes

The night you left me

The whiskey didn’t help at all

In fact it even made me fall

I needed the support of the wall

The night you left me

With nowhere to go

I was going nowhere

And going there real slow

Knowing that you wouldn’t be there

The whiskey didn’t help at all

In fact it even made me crawl

I needed the support of the wall

The night you left me

If you had stayed with me my fiery lover

By now you’d be an amber in my brain

And all my thoughts of you would have no power

Like ashes are water down the drain

Oh, the whiskey didn’t kill the pain

I walked for hours in the rain

Through the dark streets and lanes

The night you left me

No, the whiskey didn’t help at all

In fact it even made me fall

I needed the support of the wall

The night you left me

Na-na, na-na…

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na, na-na

Na-na-na-na…

If you had stayed with me my fiery lover

By now you’d be an amber in my brain

And all my thoughts of you would have no power

Like ashes are water down the drain

Oh, the whiskey didn’t kill the pain

I walked for hours in the rain

Through the dark streets and lanes

The night you left me

No, the whiskey didn’t help at all

In fact it even made me fall

I needed the support of the wall

The night you left me

Na-na, na-na, the night you left me…

Na-na-na-na-na…

Na-na, na-na, the night you left me…

The night you left me…

The night you left me…
