lyrics

The Wine

If you want to rock to this,
You know where sadness is
Your eyes are filled with this secret

Speak low — the place is empty
We are alone in the last hours of this night
The chairs are stacked up on the tables
Casting funny up-turned shadows across a tired floor

(chorus)
But you make the wine taste better
You make the wine taste better

If you want to cry to this
Your lips know sadness’ kiss
Someone tell me whose child he is

My arms ache for my baby
Swollen with love for everyone to see
A fruit so heavy it might bring me down
I wait for someone to come and take this harvest

(chorus)
You make the wine taste better
You make the wine taste better

If you want to rock to this
Baby better make a fist
Show your Mama you are strong as day

The third verse has brought me understanding
Now I know love is not love if it is just suffering
The moon will watch me watching you my Daughter
And no lullaby of mine will every taste of sadness—

(chorus#2)
Sleep now,
Your Mama loves you, your Mama loves you
Sleep now,
Your Mama loves you
_____
Кто под эту песню покачивается,
Тот знает где обитает печаль
Скажи Маме, что ты яркий как день
Говори тихо, этот бар пуст
Мы - одни в последний час этой ночьи;
Стулья перевёрнуты, стоят на столах,
Отбрасывая странные тени по усталому полу
Но с тобой вино вкуснее
С тобой вино вкуснее
с тобой вино вкуснее
Вкуснее
Кто под эту песню покачивается,
Тот знает где обитает печаль
Скажи Маме, что ты яркий как день
Мои руки истосковались по любимому,
наполнены любовю на всеобщее обозрение.
Этот плод такой тежелый, что под его весом могу упасть,
Так что я жду человека, кто снимет этот урожай
Но с тобой вино вкуснее
С тобой вино вкуснее
с тобой вино вкуснее
Вкуснее
Но с тобой вино вкуснее
С тобой вино вкуснее
с тобой вино вкуснее
Вкуснее
