Whiskers in the Sink by Donleigh

Lyrics

Whiskers in the Sink
Don Leigh

You started drifting and losing my gaze
Things won’t ever be like the good old days
I don’t know what happen but we’re falling apart
I didn’t mean to but I broke your heart

He was a just a friend someone to talk to
The only reason I did was you didn’t want to
It happened so slowly didn’t know what to think
Until the day you came home and found whiskers in the sink

Billy got closer and started to draw me in
I tried to resist to give in it was a sin
When you’re not around I need someone too
Now I’ve got Billy and I don’t need you

He was a just a friend someone to talk to
The only reason I did was you didn’t want to
It happened so slowly didn’t know what you’d think
Until the day you came home and found whiskers in the sink

I tried to stay busy and remain in control
When I looked for your love it was like a dust bowl
So, he was there for me and my pain
Just couldn’t get Billy out of my brain
(2)


He was a just a friend someone to talk to
The only reason I did was you didn’t want to
It happened so slowly didn’t know what you’d think
Until the day you came home and found whiskers in the sink

Billy got closer and started to draw me in
I tried to resist to give in was a sin
When you’re not around I need someone too
Now I’ve got Billy and I don’t need you


He was a just a friend someone to talk to
The only reason I did was you didn’t want to
It happened so slowly didn’t know what you’d think
Until the day you came home and found whiskers in the sink
