about

An Eastern European and Bluegrass influenced song. A tale of a friend who had a few to drink and thinks he's done some things
that he might regret on the night before.

lyrics

The Night Before

Like a battle cry the alarm bells shoot like knives
And it hits him to the very core
You open one eye and you struggle to remind yourself
What it is you woke up for.

You sink into you bed as you realize your dread
And you start to sweat
You had a few to drink and you think you’ve done some things
That you might regret on the night before

You lie there very still and phone ring brings a chill
It’s a number that you don’t recall
You read the message twice
It says ‘thank you for last night…you were truly wonderful

You sink into you bed as you realize your dread
And you start to sweat
You had a few to drink and you think you’ve done some things
That you might regret on the night before

Oooore ooooore Oooore ooooore Oooore ooooore
Ooooore Oooore ooooore
On the night before

There’s an image coming through of a woman dressed in blue
You can see her face but not her name
In the mirror bold and bright in her red lipstick handwriting
She signed it with kiss ‘Love Jane’

You sink into you bed pull the covers on your head
And you really sweat
You had a few to drink and you think you’ve done some things
That you might regret on the night before

You had a few to drink and you think you’ve done some things
That you might regret on the night before
You had a few to drink and you think you’ve done some things
That you might regret on -the night before.
