Waves

new waves  / old waves new pains
old pains / come and go
                     in waves

soft music takes the numb away / now i think
         i used to drink / drink to not feel
a thing / oh yes
alcohol burns my thoat  / and cigarettes
                 only a shadow memory
      of who i used to be /
keeps me sober

old waves new pains
old pains come in waves
come look for me / come and go / like the shimmery grays
          and winter blues
ahhh but the stars
they are still here
            to light my way
