LYRICS Can't figure out how it came to this But I know it's going to be hard to fix Cords untangled until they give Leaving me all alone in a dark room Footsteps of memories are echoing Sunlight won’t dare a single ray in Still holding on but I'm breaking soon leaving me all alone in a dark room In a dark room Oh In a dark room Took what I had and put it all away I can't bear to show off anything Time is slowly fading into yesterday And I'm here all alone in a dark room In a dark room Oh In a dark room Think you're going to know if you're singing the wrong note But your tone deaf, the phone's dead, your batteries turned off You have no control, really no Control Because you lost that, forgot that so long ago Not even a chair here to lift you higher Only the cold floor boards and they burn you like fire Just a simple gleam of hope is all you desire Being here all alone in a dark room In a dark Room Oh in a dark, in a dark dark room

I love this classic. Fun fact "Autumn Leaves" is a much-recorded popular song. Originally it was a 1945 French song "Les feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves") with music by Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert.

Coming from a small town community where addiction and alcoholism can be very visible, this song really struck me when I first heard it. I wanted to sing it and share it. Mary Gauthier is a songwriting genius and also a fascinating live performer. The Strombo Show presented an International Women's Day Special on Sunday, March 5 on CBC Radio 2. I was invited discuss International Women's Day with Strombo and perform a cover of an influential female songwriter. My band and I decided to cover Mary Gauthier's song, "I Drink". I hope you enjoy our cover.
