Dr Hook The Medicine Show Drinking Wine Alone Lyrics

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
