Come taste the wine - come lose yourself
Taste this time - but keep it well -
Only love it all -
With heart and head
For there is no drinking, af - ter you're dead
Dive and swim - in the amber ocean
See all that you can - in this new emotion
And embrace it now -
Before it's skin sheds
For there is no drinking, af - ter you're dead
Stand back to back - with yourself again
As you spin and reel - like a new found friend,
And have it all -
With heart and hands
For there is no love ma - king, af - ter you're dead
And today is but a second - if tomorrow you may die
And empty pages glistening - in eternity's lie
And time is but an essence - encased upon the wall
That brings our day of reckoning - Much closer to us all.
Light the candle - and burn it well
For only time knows - what it cannot yet tell,
Only love it all
with heart and head
For there is no drinking, Af - ter you're dead
Cm (w/riff 1) - repeat riff 1 to fade.
