Analysis of Heartbreak Tavern
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
I can drink away my pain,
I could drown myself in booze,
I don't want to bear again,
The painful choices
I have to choose.
If Loving you is a Crime,
I definitely wouldn't mind.
To drink away my heartache,
I should have left behind!!
I am dealing with a struggle,
the struggle of letting you be.
So, I will drink away my sorrow and
Finally I will be at Ease!!
B.R.
