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
Until its all just the same things again
So 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.
And I worry about you. Why? Because you want me to
Can you still have any famous last words, if you're nobody somebody knows?
I don't know
Somebody go and ask Claire. 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
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 into the San Francisco Bay.Now he lives on Molly's farm picking berries all day.
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 riverboat crime . Now hes 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 Claire 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.
Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers, I gotta get those seeds into the ground.
And if you worry about me, don't bother. Why? cause Ill be fine. Im just sitting here laughing.
Little old me, and my Strawberry Wine
