Pour us the golden
Pour us the silver
Pour us the scarlet
Pour us the frozen
I taste last night's love in my morning mouth
The bitter taste of wine lingering 'round
Red turning to tooth scum
That bottle of old rum
Forming a placate of plaque on the line of my gums
I cannot brush it away; Must force its eternal stay
That way I can have just one more memory of the night
And it's magical spell
That feeling of your arms around me
Please smile that same old smile for me
Sing me the same song you did last year
Laugh for no reason; live in that season of superfluous words
Cry in the way you did in December
The bottles are practically empty now
The gold's all gone, the silver's low
That wine's a vinaigrette to season your salad
With an added spice
Just pour me some gin now
Pour me some of that whiskey
To help us recite last year's celebratory songs
Of lovers and love
Our love is so strong
It makes objects in our house
Wrap those blankets around me
And tell me those secrets you've told me before
About those abuses, recluses, stories whispered in my ear
Nonsensical music we've made together
The words of promises never made to last
Forever
Pour us the golden
Pour us the silver
Pour us the scarlet
Pour us the frozen
Please sip it slowly
Fall asleep on me; Let me love you
Caress your body, follow the veins
May I dance in your dreams?
Don't walk away from this movie's screen
Let us try for the perfect ending
A Funeral without Mourning
A Life without Dying
A Love without Losing
Just drink one more glass of that wine with me
One more sip from the bottle's rim
Before it is emptied, bottom to brim
And you leave me here trying so hard
To make cider out of a basket of rotten apples
Once fruitful, colorful
Alive!
