Only the Wine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, yeah
Sprung like a wild orchid
Curled like a wave
Hanging like wood smoke, yeah
In the airy glade
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Sympathetic, won't forget it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever, ah whatever
Help me find the way home
Coiled in my synapses
Poised like a snake
There as the time lapses
And the levee breaks
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Laugh about it, do without it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever, ah whatever
Have to find a way, the way
The way home
