We’re the ones who couldn’t understand now the pain’s between our eyes
It’s late we’re filled from brain to bone with the prime of our lives
The dark conceals your arms and face as you step into the the night
Wherever we set up our camp it’s our Whiskey Twilight
Only the devil’s embrace could hold me the way you’ve been holding me tonight
I look in your face and I see the parts of me I left so close behind
In our Whiskey Twilight
You know the night is getting late ‘cos that fat moon’s on the rise
Whatever lies we tell ourselves tomorrow we’ll have no choice (but) to deny
Like you tell me that you love me as you pull yourself inside
The height of our hysteria is hopeless to hide
Only the devil’s embrace could hold me the way you’ve been holding me all night
I look in your face and I see those parts of me I left so close behind
In our Whiskey Twilight
You know it’s time to pack it in ‘cos that fire’s gonna die
The bed we made we’re lyin’ in, we’ll have to clean this mess up another time
Perhaps if things were different we could have led one divine life
But for now I’ll have to send you home, give my regards to your wife
‘Cos only the devil’s embrace could have held me the way you were holding me that night
I looked in your face, I still see those parts of me I left so close behind
In our Whiskey Twilight
