Jeff Mondak songs
This is another that graduated from the writer's room. Chad Calhoun (azappraiser) was kind enough to work on it. I didn't think to ask him until after hearing that Oszkars song he did. This one's different! A very cool acoustic approach.

You promised me forever eleven years ago
We made handprints in the drive but they're hidden 'neath the snow
You didn't pay November's bill so they cut off the phone
You turned our home into a house with me left so alone
There's a bottle beside me where you used to lie
It's here and you're gone and I still don't know why
Your leaving will hurt when the bottle runs dry
And the whiskey turns to tears
I ask myself what I did to make you make this choice
The only answer that I hear's the echo of my voice
You left behind your toothbrush and an empty front-porch swing
And over on the table's where you left your wedding ring
There's a bottle beside me where you used to lie
It's here and you're gone and I still don't know why
Your leaving will hurt when the bottle runs dry
And the whiskey turns to tears
The furnace makes the curtains dance
Why weren't we worth another chance?
They're twirling, swirling gracefully
There're two of them but one of me
There's a bottle beside me where you used to lie
It's here and you're gone and I still don't know why
Your leaving is hurting, the bottle's run dry
And the whiskey's turned to tears
And the whiskey's turned to tears
