Strawberry Wine

Last night the street collapsed on itself

In fact, it broke right in two

And I fell in

The strawberry vines

Into a pool of strawberry wine

Strawberry wine and clouds

Burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers

But the stems brake the armor

And the morning comes

Until its all just the same things again

Oh god,

Don't spend too much time on the other side

Let the daylight in,

Before you get old and you cant break out of it

My old friend,

Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers

You gotta get your seeds in to the ground

And I worry about you.

Why? Because you want me to

Can you still have any famous last words

If you're somebody nobody knows,

I don't know

Somebody go and ask Clair

She's been dead twenty years just look at her hair

Strawberry blonde with curls

She gets her hair done then she gossips

With the younger waitress girls at the bar

The old Irish rose

Drinking strawberry wine

Until it comes out her nose

She spent too much time on the other side,

She forgot to let the daylight in

So before you get old you better break out of it

My old friend,

Cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers

You better get your seeds in to the ground,

And I worry about you,

Why? Because you want me too

This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge

He was angry about a letter he received from his friend

He fell in

To the arms of the most beautiful girl

That have ever lived in the history of the world

And with nothing left to lose he got screwed

He sold his apartment before they made him move

Then he jumped straight in to the san Francisco bay

Now he lives on Molly's farm picking berries all day

Don't spend too much time on the other side

Let the daylight in

Marty was a kid when he learned steal boats

His dad was a deejay on the radio

He fell in

To a life of riverboat crime

Now has the man you see in prison

If you want strawberry wine

Strawberry wine and smokes

He sent a letter to his friend

Explaining one night on coke

He and Clair

Jumped right in to them strawberry vines

Lord knows you get lost on that strawberry wine

Don't spend too much time on the other side,

Let the daylight in

Now I'm getting old and I gotta break out of it

My old friend,

Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers

I gotta get those seeds in to the ground,

And if you worry about me

Don't bother

Why?

Ill be fine

I'm just sitting here laughing

Little old me

And my strawberry wine

Strawberry wine
