strawberry wine
Last night in 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 broke the armor And the morning comes Until it's 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 can't break out of it My old friend 'Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers You gotta get your seeds in 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 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 And she forgot to let the daylight in  Before you get old you'd better 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 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 girls That have ever, 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 to steal boats His dad was a deejay on the radio He fell in To a life of riverboating crime He's 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 in to the strawberry vines And 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? I'll be fine I'm just sitting here laughing Little old me and my Strawberry wine
