Tears Into Wine

The gun is loaded when the glass is full

Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled

Off the wagon and 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

All the friends that I've ever known

Are the street lamps 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 alright

Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine

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

All the friends that I've ever known

Are the street lamps 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 alright

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 alright

Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine

All the friends that I've ever known

Are the street lamps 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 alright

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 alright

Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine

Tears into wine
