I wrote a different version of this song as a duet for my best friend's short play. His name is Alan Berks. There's a couple of flubbed lines, but it's a great performance by actor/singers Simone Perrin and Phil Callen.
Listen to that version here (find "Perdita" in the media player on the right):

Hello everyone! Happy Halloween!
Here's another song that I wrote. It's called "Sweet Perdita (I Wish I Was Your Whiskey)". Yes, it's another long title, but the song is really long too, so maybe that's okay!
It's about a bartender in love with a drunk singer. It's a country song, with a dash of Tom Waits. I apologize for the swear words, but they just worked so well.
Oh yeah, about the length of the song... Sorry! I hope you guys can make it through.
As always, thanks so much for your support!
Oh, before I post the lyrics, please check out Pablo668! You won't be disappointed.

I Wish I Was Your Whiskey
Copyright 2006 Narciso Lobo
Every Monday night
And every other Wednesday
Sweet Perdita gently breaks my heart
And I pour her drinks for free
And hope the boss don't see me
Because when sweet Perdita's singing, I ain't so smart.
She takes one shot of Jack
For every love song
That I dream she sings for me alone
She needs two shots of Beam
In between her covers of Nina Simone
Chorus:
O I wish that I was your whiskey
'Cause I can ease your pain
I'd cheer your ass up
Before you put down the cup
And if you fuck up
I'll take the blame
O I wish that I was your whiskey
Ain't nothing that I'd rather be
Honey, I'll keep you warm
Through this cold winter storm
And you can drown all your sorrows in me
With every lonesome strum
Every limb goes numb
My feet uneasily hovering above the floor
And through my tears I see
That she don't sing for me
It's those hopeless dreams I was hoping to ignore
She takes one shot of Black
Johnnie Walker
For every sad song she croons
And it's Maker's Mark
To harden her heart before she can belt out the blues
(Repeat Chorus)
Everybody knows
That every bar must close
Bleary-eyed and busted
I give last call
And as her final tune
Leaves this old saloon
So will sweet Perdita pass these walls
And it's old Wild Turkey
For the barkeep
As the regulars file down the stairs
And I'm drinking Bushmills
'Til I get the will
To confess to her empty chair
(Repeat Chorus) (Less)
