Lyrics
Sorrow Overtakes 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.
They say my tears come from the bottle that stands beside me all the time
But I wonder if they know the sorrow that always overtakes the wine
I drink to find forgetful valleys where I can leave old memories behind
But always just before I reach them sorrow overtakes the wine
[ steel ]
These tears can find me when I'm sober they're quick to show up anytime
And I always try to drink them under but sorrow overtakes the wine
I drink to find forgetful valleys...
Sorrow overtakes the wine
