Strawberry Wine

作詞 : Adams

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 break 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 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 fellow 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 to steal boats

His dad was a DJ on the radio

He fell in

To a life

Of riverboat and 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 by 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 my seeds in to the ground'

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
