Andrew Bird - Green Wine lyrics
[Andrew Bird - Green Wine lyrics]
One, two, three, four
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair and
You knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
I just got in my car and drove away
They said to me, "Butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But will never be enough to save you from
The bottom of your glass"
Where the state highway starts i stop my car
I get out to stare up at the stars
And as meteors died and shot across the sky
Just thought about your sad, shining eyes
When I went back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
Oh, and you were still passed
Out on the floor
They said to me, "Butterfly, no
You know, there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
It will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass"
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair and
You knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
I just got in my car and drove away
They said to me, "Butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But will never be enough to save you from
The bottom of your glass"
Where the state highway starts i stop my car
I get out to stare up at the stars
And as meteors died and shot across the sky
Just thought about your sad, shining eyes
When I went back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
Oh, and you were still passed
Out on the floor
They said to me, "Butterfly, no
You know, there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
It will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass"
