    Last night in the street collapsed on itself

    In fact, it broke right in two

    And I fell in

    The strawberry vines

    Into a pool of strawberry wine

    Strawberry wine and clouds

    Burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers

    But the stems broke the armor

    And the morning comes

    Until its all just the same things again

    Oh god,

    Don''t spend too much time on the other side

    Let the daylight in,

    Before you get old and you cant break out of it



    My old friend,

    Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers

    You gotta get your seeds in

    And I worry about you, why
    because you want me to



    Can you still have any famous last words

    If you''re nobody somebody nobody knows,

    I don''t know

    Somebody go and ask Clair

    She''s been dead twenty years just look at her hair

    Strawberry blonde with curls

    She gets hair done then she gossips

    With the younger waitress girls at the bar

    The old Irish rose

    Drinking strawberry wine

    Until it comes out her nose

    She spent too much time on the other side,

    And she forgot to let the daylight in



    Before you get old you''d better break out of it

    My old friend,

    Cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers

    You gotta get your seeds in to the ground,

    And I worry about you,

    Why because you want me too



    This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge

    He was angry about a letter he received from his friend

    He fell in

    To the arms of the most beautiful girls

    That have ever lived in the history of the world



    And with nothing left to lose he got screwed

    He sold his apartment before they made him move

    Then he jumped straight in

    To the san Francisco bay

    Now he lives on Molly''s farm

    Picking berries all day



    Don''t spend too much time on the other side

    Let the daylight in



    Marty was a kid when he learned steal boats

    His dad was a deejay on the radio

    He fell in

    To a life

    Of riverboat crime

    Now has the man you see in prison

    If you want strawberry wine

    Strawberry wine and smokes

    He sent a letter to his friend

    Explaining one night on coke

    He and Clair

    Jumped in to the strawberry vines

    And lord knows you get lost

    On that strawberry wine



    Don''t spend too much time on the other side,

    Let the daylight in



    And imp getting old and I gotta break out of it

    My old friend,

    Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers

    I gotta get those seeds in to the ground,

    And if you worry about me

    Don''t bother

    Why


    Ill be fine

    Imp just sitting here laughing

    Little old me and my

    Strawberry wine
