That's The Drink Talking (with Gareth) by Garddwr Porffor published on 2021-09-30T23:05:53Z A song from a couple of years ago, with my old friend Gareth on acoustic guitar. The Drink Talking I have said some foolish things In my life along the way But I am not a sober man So pay no heed to what I say And when I say, I love you You may never know it’s true That’s not my heart It’s just the drink talking And we won’t think too deeply About the nature of these things We were thrown into this sea of life Without any water wings And we can sink alone here Whilst hope eternal springs But we can’t swim We’re just treading water And in this dreamed existence In our imagined feather bed Our wishes become fishes Our dreamcatcher is misled We dream our future perfectly In homes of gingerbread This isn’t life We’re just sleep walking That’s not my heart It’s just the drink talking Cover photo by Jonas Jacobsson on Unsplash Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Linda Straub Your lyrics in this absolutely beautiful piece are just phenomenal. 2022-11-12T14:09:07Z Comment by Linda Straub So very pretty.
