Richard Thompson - Dust And Wine lyrics

(Richard Thompson)

Dust And Wine

That's what my world is

Dust And Wine

That's what she said

Everything I hold seems to crumble

So I hold a bottle instead

Dust and Wine

Ashes and sorrow

Dust and Wine

And a pauper's bed

So I drink like no tomorrow

Dust and Wine

Pipe dreams of mine let me down

Assembly line let me down

Partners in crime let me down

Jemima let me down too

Friends are gone and

Love is gone and

Light is fading from my eyes

Pour me wine against the darkness

Light a lamp to burn inside

Dust And Wine

Easy on the throttle

Dust And Wine

That's what she said

Take your pick

Me or the bottle

Dust And Wine

O landlord fetch me something

To get my valves pumping

I see it all clearly

When I'm flying way up here

Dust And Wine

Living like a wino

Dust And Wine

Clear out of my head

Got my nose

Down on the lino

Dust And Wine
