Bottle In The Way

from Appointed Tasks by Julie Jurgens

lyrics

Where did you go?
I lost track of your tracks in the snow
Where have you been?
Did you give up or did you just give in?

Cry baby cry
Old enough to know better, but too young to die
Fix yourself with another drink
You can’t hold my hand if you don’t know where I am and you’re too drunk to sing

And you’ll love me tomorrow
And you loved me yesterday, so you say
But you’re never around when I need you
No love today, there’s a bottle in the way

I am a mouse-trap with no mouse
And you are a household with no house
And never the twain shall meet
The river that you’re riding on sails you right away from me—

If I had eight arms, maybe I could get things done
But when it comes to loving you, I might as well have none
I am a fuse-box with no fuse
And you are a loser with nothing left to lose

And you’ll love me tomorrow
And you loved me yesterday, so you say
But you’re never around when I need you
No love today, there’s a bottle in the way

I’m a saxophone reed that’s been left to dry
I can’t play anymore so I cry, baby, cry
Can’t play anymore so I sigh, baby, sigh
I can’t wait anymore, but I tried, baby, tried

Where did you go?
I’ve lost track of your tracks in the snow
Where have you been?
I fell asleep waiting up to let you in

And you’ll love me tomorrow
And you loved me yesterday, so you say
But you’re never around when I need you
No love today, there’s a bottle in the way
