I'll Regret It All In the Morning

Richard Thompson


Whisky helps to clear my head 
Bring it with you into bed 
If I beat you nearly dead 
I'll regret it all in the morning 

I'm so drunk I couldn't care 
If that's a wig or your own hair 
Here's my ticket, take me there 
I'll regret it all in the morning 

I'll regret it all in the morning 
When I see your smiling face 
I'd rather be in any place but here 

The years have left their mark 
Your skin feels smooth as bark 
As we shiver in the dark 
I'll regret it in the morning 

As you gaze around in fright 
With your knuckles turning white 
You're a lonely, lonely sight 
To wake up to in the morning 

This is no way to exist 
With some girl who keeps a list 
Naming all the boys she's missed 
And she's longed for in the morning 

I'll regret it all in the morning 
When I see your smiling face 
I'd rather be in any place but here 

Now the room is spinning fast 
And it fades away at last 
When this empty night is passed 
I'll regret it all in the morning
