[Verse]
By the old stone wall
Where the river bends
Lost my young love to another man's hands
With the whiskey bottle always near
Blinded by the haze
Couldn't see her tears
[Verse 2]
She waited on the hill through the cold night air
For a sober heart that was never there
The pub lights flickered
A silent prayer
But I drowned her cries without a care
[Chorus]
Empty pint
An empty bed
Lonely nights with words unsaid
She reached for me
But found the dark
Now my heart bears a ragged mark
[Verse 3]
Seen her in the dawn with another lad
Holding hands
Looking glad
My heart sank like a heavy stone
For I'd reaped all the seeds I'd sown
[Bridge]
The barman’s tale
Oh he’d surely know
Of the sorrow where the wild winds blow
Over mugs and jugs
The truth did spill
That I’d lost my love to the bitter swill
[Verse 4]
In every shadow
Her ghost does tread
Haunts the room beside my bed
On the lonely nights
The bottles stare
Reminding me of days beyond repair
