WINO'S LULLABY - - - EDWIN McCAIN
|
|
Well I poured myself from this lonely bottle
|
My clown shoes got hung in the neck
|
And I dangled there in amazement
|
At the man who can't pay the check
|
Tried to trace my staggering footsteps
|
As they wander side-by-side
|
And I¡¯m walking along to the melody
|
Of the wino's lullaby
|
|
Wino's lullaby, wino's lullaby,
|
Wino's lullaby, wino's lullaby
|
|
The path I follow, it wanders
|
Through laughter and liquor and song
|
The beautiful shows, the highs and lows
|
The time always seems too long
|
Boys and girls are all falling in love
|
And soaring to dizzying heights
|
The breakdowns, the shakedowns,
|
The setups, the knockdowns
|
Early morning under the lights
|
|
Music is my lover
|
My killer and my surprise
|
I'm playing along to the melody
|
Of the wino's lullaby
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Well I drag myself from the madness
|
And follow my heart back home
|
This woman's she's been waiting
|
And feeling awfully alone
|
We suffer here in the silence
|
As she is starting to cry
|
I'm falling asleep to the melody
|
Of the wino's lullaby
|
|
Chorus
|
