well it rains here for days
the sky indelible grey
and every girl i meet
just sees through me
but if you've got the time
darling i'm sure i'll find
a little something to take the edge off this
something to numb the memory of her kiss

so i've been looking in the bars
dodging the oncoming cars
in search of something lost I found
gets me high then it just brings me down
gets me high but it just tears me down

northern drawn and quartered love
what you give is not enough
it's what you take that kills it all
it' s what you take that kills it all

well the kids here they know
love 'aint what follows you home
but one night wont mean a thing
with shaking hands they hold
stumbling drunk out in the cold
its who we are that we don't show
its who we lose that makes us know

well the whiskey and pills
just imitate the thrill
of what i cant replace
and when i lay down at night
with only sleep left to fight
i'll always wonder where you are
but i'll black out and never know
who you've found and how you've grown


Northern drawn and quartered love
what you give is not enough
it's what you take that kills it all
its who you lose that makes you whole
its who you lose that makes you whole
