about

Dean:
"This song came to me out of the blue. I just started singing ‘you’re the name on my heart babe’ and about half an hour later it was done. I like to think I was channeling a little bit of that Townes Van Zandt feeling of hopelessness"

lyrics

You’re the name on my heart babe
You’re the love of my life
But now I’m all that’s left of us
I’m drinking too much babe
It helps me forget
To remember you’re gone

I’m all out of tears
I’m whisky tough
The time that I fear
Is when the whisky’s not enough

There’s nothing as lonely
As every night without you
How do we get over these things

I wonder what happens
Do we just fade away
Like snow in the summer sun

I’m doing alright/turn out the light
I’m whisky tough
Will I still be able to fight/when I turn out the light
When the whisky’s not enough

You’re the name on my heart babe
You’re the love of my life
But now I’m all that’s left of us

How I wish that you were here
Things are tough
It’s becoming quite clear
That the whisky’s not enough
The whisky’s not enough
