Tears into Wine Lyrics

Verse1

The gun is loaded when the class is full,
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled.
Off the wake and they're back onto the stool.

I know that when I stare into your eyes,
I can see all the years of lies,
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised.

Chorus:

All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone.

Oh Lord I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine.

Verse 2

His fate was written on a neon sign,
A DUI never changed his mind,
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line.

You never gave yourself a chance to shine,
Your destination's a chalk outline,
And when you get to the gates you'll be denied.

Chorus:

All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone.

Oh Lord I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.

Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.

Verse 3

All the friends that I've ever known,
Are the streetlamps I follow home,
The tide keeps pulling me down,
I try to reach higher ground,
I'll never give up and drown.

Even though I just can't:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.

Tear the moon from the stars tonight,
Twist my arm like a knife tonight,
And if you wanna leave, that's all right,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.

Tears into wine,
Tears into wine,
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine.
