Lurks in the ample liquid
of his whiskey glass
That tells himself that the answer lies in waves
That old cold heartless lie that he uses every night
While he's living in the shadows,
a victim of his fate
Just another falling soldier in the whiskey walls
He wakes up to face another day,
but he can't say what for
Like Napoleon he fought bravely,
the way good soldiers do
Till the day he came to face his Waterloo
Still under the spell
of a fallen angel Loved her blindly past the point of no return
He broke his heart into the cold hard bitter truth
He suffers in silence,
thinking it's no one's concern
Just another falling soldier in the whiskey walls
He wakes up to face another day,
but he can't say what for
Like Napoleon he fought bravely,
the way good soldiers do
Till the day he came to face his Waterloo
He's a prisoner to a love
he can't forget and can't ignore
Just another falling soldier in the whiskey walls
Another falling soldier in the whiskey walls
He wakes up to face another day,
but he can't say what for
Like Napoleon he fought bravely,
the way good soldiers do
Till the day he came to face his Waterloo
Till the day he came to face
his Waterloo
