Thanks Nank for introducing me to MS!

 

There's been something, baby, I've been trying to say
For an age and it seems I don't know how
With the past and the future now surrounding me
I surrender to whatever cheap thrill can be found

 

Last night I woke to the sound of a dream on fire

Burning a ring around my frozen cage, yea

Flames hissed a chorus that said changes to come
I downed a drink for comfort, but came up with rage

 

Now, there's been a little trouble
Since you came to my rescue
And if you were like all of the rest
I would have quit you long ago
But I couldn't do that

 

Oh, why is it that, Women and wine
Never went too well
Make me say things I don't want to tell
And, I know baby that you wish me well
But in spite of your trying
I'm gonna have to find my own way through

Like the mist of morning, my dream remains
Hanging in the burnt fields of my memory
As it fades in the sunlight, I sense your restrain
Picking up the past I left it behind

I'm searching solution on the double
On this two ton telephone
My friend says you ain't got no real trouble
Just too many choices you left undone
My friend like all of the rest he says
Put an action to these words
And it'll all come

Women and wine
Never went so well
Like a life of long lies I don't wanna tell
Make him cold as hell
I know woman that you wish me well
But in spite of all your trying
Still gonna have to find my own way through

Time has a way of turning my head around
Like a pretty sunshine on the cloudiest of days
Now the wind is blowing in the right direction
With a candle under my seat
And good ground under my feet
To walk on
