Lovers see the world through an old, red wine
All the sounds of the blues, just disappear
With a light like yours beside me
Its been an old, old red wine year
And just how many times did I watch you smile
And how long has it been
Since my eyes, in tender desperation
Gathered every memory, every scene
And Ah! Last summer on the beach your legs were brown as pecan stains
And how, with dripping faces we would skid to shelter in the pouring rain
But if the games so low and painful
And if every moment brings no peace
Its just a shame to play
Now in the end theres the long road home
And the partys so dry, without you
Oh my lady, if you have to leave me
Please dont leave me sober, leave me blue
