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 And I worry about you, why? because you want me to
Can you still have any famous last words If you're nobody 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
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 deejay 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 imp 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? Ill be fine Imp just sitting here laughing Little old me and my Strawberry wine
