Girl in the Gloaming

I'm drunk on the feeling
And the bottle of whiskey
No need to forgive me
I'm already saved

There's a mantra we mutter
Down in the gutter
Hell hath a lustre
For us this sick and depraved

Is anything true worth the lying and thieving?
Girl, girl in the gloaming
Does anything real beget longing and dreaming?
Girl, girl in the gloaming

I was measuring my failure
Calibrating my misbehaviour
I was mimicking the saviour
We used to believe

I must have repeated
Words in the right sequence
Because Jesus in his weakness
Turned back the bus for me

Is anything true worth the lying and thieving?
Girl, girl in the gloaming
Does anything real beget longing and dreaming?
Girl, girl in the gloaming

Girl
Girl in the gloaming
Girl
Girl in the gloaming

We were floating on air
High over the river
When I came hither
I was wet and afraid

I was tucked in tightly
Visited nightly
The nurse very politely
Drew up the shade

Is anything true worth the lying and thieving?
Girl, girl in the gloaming
Does anything real beget longing and dreaming?
Girl, girl in the gloaming

Girl
Girl in the gloaming
Girl
Girl in the gloaming
