Cask

Saturday morning
Just like the snow that's falling down
Here without warning gone before you know
It's overwhelming
How little you show or tell me
How can I get to your cellar down below?
I'm suffocating, and barely alive
No use for waiting, my ferry arrives
To cross the sea tomorrow
With your blessing, I'm up to the task
There is no guessing the right way to ask
Can you uncork my sorrow?
Pour from the Cask of Amontillado
Time keeps on crawling
In through the cracks in this blockade
It's a Stygian insect I can't repel
It's under my skin
But not in my arteries or veins
There only sherry carries my cells
I'm suffocating and barely alive
No use for waiting, my ferry arrives
To cross the sea tomorrow
With your blessing, I'm up to the task
There is no guessing the right way to ask
Can you uncork my sorrow?
Pour from the Cask of Amontillado
Stomach is burning
All bottled up and yearning
For the clink of your fingers like velvet keys
There's no difference
Between you and me at the end of the day
So let me see daylight won't you please?
