It's a cold and sober   Night time over me, my roof and blanket   I'm looking at you   Another cold and sober   Night time over me, my roof and blanket   Looking at you   You're laid up here on my bed   I'm looking out the window at the moon   I say "what you thinking?   Are you swimming or you sinking?   I see it in your eyes, something's aim is true"   She says it ain't sink or swim   It ain't her in the drink   It's the other way 'round   "...and the lack of it all right now   on account of you"   Those are the reasons, that is the reason why   She never tells me nothing   I don't mind, that's alright   Ain't nothing just half the truth   The first time i met you i knew   One taste meant i was through   It's a cold and sober night time over you   Another cold and sober night time over you   And the night time slides   And the morning light comes shining   Through all the bottles laying drained and empty   In resignation 'round you   At you asleep on my bed and i remember you said   "just this time will be alright but ain't nothing gonna   be the same again, friend"   The first time i met you i knew   One taste meant i was through   It's a cold and sober night time over you   Another cold and sober night time over you   It's a cold and sober night time over you   And in lieu of your coldness   Or something someone stole   Someone told me, being sober might have this kind of   Effect on you
