That Wine Won't Drink Itself

Produced by The Only Michael

lyrics

It was just another morning on a bright late autumn day
until it turned into the night when I met you
I was waiting at the station for a train that never came
Then another one pulled into platform two.
You said you thought I looked familiar, I could tell you'd understand the way I felt
We decided that the Cabernet might need a little help -
That wine won't drink itself

Felt like I'd known you all my life, the night was clear and cold
We were sitting outside smoking in the yard
By the time the sun came up we felt like we could fly
If you weren't so high you wouldn't fall so hard.
But we were happy to be breathing,
Every little thing made so much sense,
We talked and put the world to rights till there was nothing left -
That wine won't drink itself

I remember when we heard the news, another good man gone
I'd forgotten how it feels to lose a friend
I'd like to think we'll meet again somewhere on down the line
But you believe the end is just the end.
I know you'll stay until the wake is over, you didn't even notice when I left
Still it would be a crying shame to leave it on the shelf -
That wine won't drink itself.

When I found you gone I told myself I didn't care
Now I'm deleting all your pictures on my phone
You said we've both moved on and changed but I'm not sure that's true
And I can feel my heart is sinking like a stone.
But there's no wall around your future, as the ice around your past begins to melt
And I don't mind if you share a glass or two with someone else -
But that wine won't drink itself, No that wine won't drink itself.
