One for the night

the tune brought the lyrics with it somehow - a sort of desert nightscape. I've always liked the idea of pouring a drink for the earth first as you take one. It can be a bit tricky indoors and you wouldn't want to do it too much with your best islay malt. but there you go.

One for the night

One for the road by dombailed

Pours one for the road
And one for the earth as she grows cold
As the light fades from the sun
There's cracks like fault lines
On my mouth as my lips dry
And so it's begun
The night

Look down at the sand
Footsteps lost where they fall
And I understand
What's right
I howl at the moons scowl
And the wind in the rocks keeps tune
And so it's begun
The night

How could i turn
My back on the sun
And chase those fault lines
For a fight?
Pours one for the road
And one for the earth
As she grows cold
In the night
