Strawberry Wine (Live In Lisbon)

Last night in the street collapsed on itself
In fact, it broke right in two
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 brakes the armor
And the morning comes
'Til its all just the same things again
Oh, God
So don't spend too much time on the other side
And forget to let the daylight in

Before you get old and you can't break out of it
My old friend
'Cause it's 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 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 other waitress girls down at the bar
The old Irish rose
Drinking strawberry wine
Until it comes out her nose
So don't spend too much time on the other side, mmm
And forget to let the daylight in

'Fore you get old and you can't break out of it
My old friend,
'Cause it's getting winter and if you want any flowers
You better get your seeds in to the ground,
I worry about you,
Why? Because you want me to

This fella of 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 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
Yeah well he jumped straight in
To the San Francisco bay
Now he lives on Megies's farm
Picking berries all days

Don't spend too much time on the other side, mmm
And forget to let the daylights in

Marty was a kid, when learned to steal boats
His dad was a deejay on the radio
He fell in
To a life
Of riverboat crime
Now he's a man you see in prison
If you want strawberry wine
Strawberry wine and smokes
He got a letter from his friend
Explaining one night on coke
He and Clair
Jumped right into the strawberry vines
And Lord knows you get lost
On that strawberry wine

So don't spend too much time on the other side, mmm
And forget to let the daylights in

'For you get old and you can't get break out of it
My old friend,
'Cause it's getting winter and if I want any flowers
You better get your seeds in to the ground
I'm worried about you
Don't worry about me
I'll be mine
I'm just sitting here laughing
Little old me
And my strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
