Clear Whiskey Water

[Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar picking, distant melancholic fiddle) [Verse 1] The mist is heavy on the emerald green A quiet sorrow in the space between I left my heart where the heather grows Where the silent, restless river flows The city streets are cold and made of stone Even in the crowd, I walk alone [Pre-Chorus] But when I close my eyes I taste the rain And I am standing on that hill again [Chorus] Drinking down the memories we made Watching the evening light begin to fade It tastes like clear whiskey water from the mountains Pouring from the sky like silver fountains Yeah, clear whiskey water from the mountains Washing away the pain [Verse 2] (Drums and bass kick in slowly) The modern world is spinning way too fast I'm holding onto shadows of the past I hear the echo of an old refrain A melody that calls me through the rain [Pre-Chorus] When I close my eyes I taste the rain And I am standing on that hill again [Chorus] Drinking down the memories we made Watching the evening light begin to fade It tastes like clear whiskey water from the mountains Pouring from the sky like silver fountains Yeah, clear whiskey water from the mountains Washing away the pain [Bridge] (Tempo builds, modern pop-rock energy, heavy bass) Take me back to the highland breeze Where my broken soul can find some ease Just one drop of the past tonight Before I lose the light! [Guitar Solo] (Melancholic, soaring and melodic electric guitar) [Chorus] It tastes like clear whiskey water from the mountains Pouring from the sky like silver fountains Yeah, clear whiskey water from the mountains Washing away the pain [Outro] Clear whiskey water... (Fading out, soft acoustic guitar and fiddle returning) From the mountains... Take me home.
