lyrics
Come back to mine
And I will give you wine,
Though I cannot guarantee,
My wine will set you free,
I'll pop the cork and listen,
Till the bottle runs dry
And then, if you need to,
You can cry
I have a friend,
That I can ask around.
He'll tell you how he lost,
Many sorry pounds.
Then he'd tell you how
He laughs about it now,
But if you need to,
You should cry
I could bring down from the loft,
A happy photograph.
Show you our Maria
And her tragic loss.
She'd tell you to allow the time
To feel unaligned,
And if you need to,
You should cry
So come back to mine
And I'll give you wine.
Mmmmm.
I have a card,
That I can let you play,
Show you my full hand,
Give the game away.
There's no clever move I use,
To keep those blues at bay.
I just accept my failings,
Like rough pot holes, along the way.
So come back,
Come back to mine,
And share my wine.
Come back to mine.
