Drinking Wine Alone lyrics

(Joel Jaffe)



I`m laying by the river, on a sunny afternoon

The glass of wine beside me, is the colour of the sun

Then the river moves inside me, and it all comes rushing back

There`s something about drinking wine alone



I`m sitting at the table, staring at my plate

The meal I fixed so carefully, is wasted I can`t eat

The first taste touched a place in me, I`m still afraid to find

There`s something about drinking wine alone



There are traces of her waiting, in the place I least expect

A laugh, a sudden movement, a lighted cigarette

Am I hiding from the very thing, I tried so hard to find

There`s something about drinking wine alone



I have wasted something precious, and it quickly slipped away

Like moonbeams through my fingers, as I turned the other way

Am I waiting for a miracle, or have I just been blind

There`s something about drinking wine alone
