|
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 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 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 |
|
So 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 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 DJ 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 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 |
|
And 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 |
|
Strawberry wine |
