To the Night

To the Night

Here's to half-truths and whole lies,
to cans, mixers and drunken slander.
Here's to the tone deaf and colour blind
- to long nights and bloodshot eyes.

Here's to the star and the moons,
To fondling, fellatio and far off fun.
Here's to the nights we all forgot
and a memory unmissed.

To heart-aches and tooth-aches,
Hangovers - hungover hair of the dog.
To whiskey drenched cigarettes
and long walks in the rain.

Here's to the nights we never knew
(that beat the sun hands down)
When dreams are hard to come by
and impossible to rhyme.

Heres to the night and hoping.
