Lyrics

BOTTOM OF THE GLASS w/m by Rae Wech copyright 2002

Verse:
Well I can drink almost as much as anyone around
Honey you taught me a thing or two about throwing whisky down
But when the party's over, and the glow beginsto pass
I see you lookin' back at me from the bottomof that glass

Verse:
You keep on reappearing no matter what I do
And it seems to be that the more I drink, the more I think of you
My friends say I've gone crazy, and the bottlegets the blame
'Til I drop that empty glass again, just callin' out your name

Bridge:
Now I don't think it's fair at all, you hauntin' me this way
It wasn't anything I done, made you go away
And I've almost drunk myself to death, yeah I'm slidin' mighty fast
Yet there you are just a sittin' again, in the bottom of the glass

Verse:
Well what can be the end of it, I swear I just don't know
I'm all torn between wantin' you and wantin' you to go
And this drink you see in front of me, well it might be my last
If I see you lookin' back at me from the bottom of the glass

Repeat bridge

Tag:
A sittin' and a grinnin', in the bottom of my drinkin' glass
