Lyrics

The years have been rolling
Past my window in the night
With the whistle of the train running by.
The dogs have been howling
At your ghost upon the door.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.

Long years I’ve been waiting.
All my hair has turned to gray.
All the colors in my life fade away.
Now you come to find me.
What is it you’re looking for?
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.

So if you’re searching, keep on looking
Shadows wane but I’m still here
The years have eaten to my marrow
Silence swept away my fear

Silence swept away
Silence swept away my fear.

The snow has been falling.
And the world is getting cold.
In every corner, I’m confronted by a ghost.
I’d give you this sorrow
Could you take anything more?
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore

I took your old shotgun
And I hung it on the wall.
These days I ain’t scared of nothing much at all.
I took your old shovel
And put it to the forest floor.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets anymore.

So if you’re searching, keep on looking.

Shadows wane but I’m still here.
The years have eaten to my marrow.
Silence swept away my fear.

Silence swept away
Silence swept away my fear.

Your shovel dug a pit,
Six inches at a time
While I burned a flame to thaw the frozen mire.
Your shotgun was silent
Staring out the open door
When I laid your memory in the forest floor.
Ain’t no whiskey in my cabinets
