VERSE 01: When life seems gray and dark the dawn and you are blue,/ There is they say on such a morn one thing to do./ Rise up and ring, a bell-boy will call to you straight-way,/ And bid him bring a cold and tall absinthe frappè CHORUS: It will free you first from the burning thirst/ That is born of a night of the bowl/ Like a sun 'twill rise through the inky skies/ That so heavily hang o'er your soul./ At the first cool sip on your fevered lip/ You determine to live through the day,/ Life's again worth while as with dawning smile/ you imbibe your absinth frappè VERSE 02: The deed is done so waste no woe o'er yesterteen./ Nor swear to shun a year or so the festive scene./ Remorse will pass despair will fade with speed away/ Before a glass of rightly made absinthe frappè | |
