a priest confesses all!
Whiskey Priest

Words and music : Andy Smythe

Whiskey priest walks the streets with a sermon in his brain
Oh the steamy nights under forbidden sheets the wonder and the shame !
How could have come to this
To be betrayed by a bitter kiss
The god he knew has abandoned him
Oh the guilt and the sin !

Chrorus :
Whiskey priest where are you please
When I call your forbidden name
Whiskey priest where are you please
When I call your forbidden name

I want to breathe in the vapours of your crimson coat
And share in the wisdom of your ancient fabled throat
The words you speak are so much truer now
You’ve faced your critics with a bow
Only brave men look their demons in the eye
Not surrendering with a lie

Chorus

I want to touch the sacred skin of your tarnished hands
And feel the ghost of electricity and the power of the man
I remember a place where we both stood proud
Hearts free of pain and doubt
Let’s go there again and sing a powerful song
That will right any wrong

Chorus
