Yesterdays Wine
Here on this boulevard of broken dreams
The nights are full of lonely music
Spilling from the bars that line my way
Slowly, I walk kicking a pebble
Trying to focus on the interaction
Between my dirty sneaker and the stone
My heart is broken and my eyes are raw
Tearstains have marked my cheeks
Regret has kissed my mouth with salt
You left me here last night, brokenhearted
When you slammed the front door
Then turned and walked away
Taking my mind and my soul
My reason for laughter and living
My sunshine and my summer rain
With you as you went
Couldn’t you see I needed you ?
That I would do anything you wanted,
Move mountains, walk through deserts
Go hungry .. go blind
Whatever it took, anything
I'd almost die to keep you near me
To touch you ...to hold you
To be my inspiration or my damnation
Whatever you wanted
You didn’t even hesitate or slow down
Long enough to tell me what I did
God knows I didn't have a clue
I still don't know.
So, I wound up here, here on losers row
Looking for a new tomorrow
Among the dregs of yesterday
Here, my broken heart said goodbye
To the only one I ever wanted
The only girl I'll ever love
To all my hopes.. all my dreams
Can I survive... Pick up the peices?
Who knows or who cares
Not you... not me !
At least not now.
For now, my glass of joy is empty,
My song of life.. offkey!
So, I guess
I’ll just live my life alone,
Unloved and unwanted
Remembering the pleasureable taste
of
Yesterday’s Wine!
