Hey Mister, Could you spare a quarter or a penny? ‘Cause I ain’t got any. Every cent is spent of drink, But it’s not like you think, I just drink to forget And I could always quit. Hey Mister, Could you spare a quarter or a dime? ‘Cause I could use some wine, Whiskey would be better yet But I’ll take what I’ll get To chase away the memory Of what’s tormenting me. Hey Mister, Those memories are coming back And I need to fade them to black Forget them before they can return And I can’t help but yearn For her. With long dark hair, Pale white skin so fair And painted lips of deep red, Please help get out of my head. Brown eye that see you heart A voice so sweet it rips you apart In a vase of soft skin’s delight That cold yet will warm your night. Fingers that know just how to touch, Please a man can only stand so much! Hey Mister, Help my mind not to think Let it drown in strong drink, She must be forgot. Thanks for the Five spot. Gloom |

I find myself at times wishing I could forget him... and I do with a little wine - but it always comes back. How do we rid our minds of them, forever? |
