I swore I'd drown your memory In the devil's amber brew And wash away the living hell I'm daily going through I'd drink till I become a fool And think you're not around But memories swim in whiskey They don't ever drown
Memories swim in whiskey To punish those who think That they can make them disappear With one more round of drinks You're always there just underneath Each swallow you put down Memories swim in whiskey They don't ever drown
You'd think by now I've paid enough To keep you in the past But here you are as big as life Warming up my glass I hold my drink in my hand Watch you whirl around Cause memories swim in whiskey They don't ever drown
