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 broke the armor
 And the morning comes
 'Til 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, 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 'til 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'd better break out of it
 My old friend

 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, 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 into a life of riverboatin' 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 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

 'Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers

 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
