Almost Drinking

from Headlong by Larry Hirshberg

about

Sober. Dreaming.

lyrics

I dream I'm almost drinking
The glass begins to tip
I know I’m only dreaming
Because nothing wets my lips

I smell the whiskey warming
The glass it slowly turns
I know I must be dreaming
Because my throat remains unburned

There is no room around me
Just the glass and what it holds
Somehow the whiskey’s found me
Somehow my mouth stays closed

And when the sun comes shining
Burning down the sky
Beer and gin and tonics
Don’t materialize
And when the band is playing
The blues and other lies
Shots of good tequila
Never cross my mind…

I dream I'm almost drinking
There’s my hand: it holds the glass
I dream the dream is over
And I can have a drink at last

I dream I'm almost drinking
There’s my hand: it holds the glass
Forever is a long time
I just wait for it to pass
