[Verse 1]: There is whiskey in the water And there is d**h upon the vine There is fear in the eyes of your father And there is "yours" and there is "mine" There is a desert veiled in pavement And there's a city of seven hills All our debris flows to the ocean To meet again, I hope it will [Chorus]: How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you? [Verse 2]: There is an answer in a question And there is hope within despair And there is beauty in a failure And there are depths beyond compare There is a role of a lifetime And there's a song yet to be sung And there's a dumpster in the driveway Of all the plans that came undone [Chorus] How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you? How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you? There is whiskey in the water And there is d**h upon the vine And there is grace within forgiveness But it's so hard for me to find [Chorus] How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you? How could something so fair be so cruel When this black sun revolved around you?
