Last night the street collapsed on itself
In fact it broke right in two
And I fell in strawberry vines
Into a pool of strawberry wine
Strawberry wine inclines
Burning in the desert surrounded by fires
but the stems break beyond more than the morning calls
Till its all just the same thing again oh god
Dont spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
Before you give up and you cant break out of it my old friend
Cause its getting worse if you want any flowers
You better get your seeds into the ground
And I worry about you
Why? Because you want me to
Can you still have any famous last words
If youre somebody nobody knows
I don't know
Somebody go and ask Claire, she's been dead 20 years just look at her
hair
Strawberry blonde with curls
She gets her hair done then she gossips with the younger waitress
girls at the bar
The old irish rose drinking strawberry wine till it comes out her
nose
Dont spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
Before you give up and you cant break out of it my old friend
Cause its getting worse if you want any flowers
You better get your seeds into the ground
And I worry about you
Why? Because you want me to
Marty was a kid when he learned to sail boats
His dad was a DJ on the radio
He fell into a life of river boating crime
Now he's the man you see in prison if you want strawberry wine
Strawberry wine or smokes
He sent a letter to his friend explaining one night on coke
He and Claire jumped right into them strawberry vines
Lord knows you get lost on that strawberry wine
Dont spend too much time on the other side
Let the daylight in
This fellow downtown he jumped off a bridge
He was angry about a letter he received from his friend
He jumped into the banks of San Francisco Bay
Picking strawberries in the clouds all day
Cause with nothing left to lose you get screwed
You sell your apartment before they make you move
Then you jump straight into the arms of the most beautiful girl
Who had never ever lived in the history of the world
And with nothing left to prove you get screwed
And sell your apartment before they make you move
Gonna jump straight into the darkened bay
Picking strawberries with strawberry wine all day
So don't spend too much time on the other side
Dont forget to let the daylight in
Cause before you get old you better break out of it my old friend
Cause its getting better and if you want any flowers
You better get your seeds into the ground
Cause I worry about you
Why? Dont bother to ask me why
I'll be fine just sitting here laughing
Little old me and my strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
