No Celebration

In the whiskey hours I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising, sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration No celebration Reminds me life is hard Here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In a sea of silence I lay wondering But with it comes no real solution Dreams die young In this world of violence Just to be betrayed by revolution-revolution Still my life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long We are only the beginning here None of us will reach the end So hold me close like an angel With your breath draw me in Feel me swim through your bloodstream Hear my voice, soft but clear After today things will never be the same I'm sorry for you, my dear In a world of darkness We are surrounded, surrounded by eternity We reach out but no love abounds us Guess we traded it for sanity Meanwhile life is hard here in my back yard And I lie awake And I stare at the sky And my life passes by And I lie here suffering, wondering How long, how long In the whiskey hours I sit mourning But the morning brings no consolation Sun is rising, sky is yawning But the new day brings no celebration --- No Celebration - Gov't Mule
