Your memory’s like a ghost
It haunts me in my sleep
I tried to forget you
Another promise I can’t keep
Our love was young and reckless
But I thought you’d always be mine
But ill winds kept blowing
Until we just stopped trying
Whiskey won’t wash away
This emptiness and pain
My tears fall to the ground
Like magnolias in the rain
Darling, when I first met you
Daylight would never end
Now I curse the dawn
Call the darkness friend
Inside this hopeless heart
There’s no place to run
Can’t find my way
From the shadows to the sun
Whiskey won’t wash away
This emptiness and pain
My tears fall to the ground
Like magnolias in the rain
You were the only one
I’d ever want to take my name
Time may heal these wounds
If you want the truth
I’ll never be the same
Whiskey won’t wash away
This emptiness and pain
My tears fall to the ground
Like magnolias in the rain
Whiskey won’t wash away
This emptiness and pain
My tears fall to the ground
Like magnolias in the rain
Like magnolias in the rain
Like magnolias in the rain
