Women And Wine - Martin Sexton

There’s been something, baby, I’ve been trying to say

For an age and it seems I don’t know how

With the past and the future now surrounding me

I surrender to whatever cheap thrill can be found

There’s been a little trouble

Since you came to my rescue

And if you were like all of the rest

I would have quit you long ago

But I couldn’t do that

Women and wine

Never went too well

Make me say things I don’t want to tell

I know baby that you wish me well

But in spite of your trying

I’m still gonna have to find my own way through

Like the mist of morning, my dream remains

Hanging in the burnt fields of my memory

The flames hiss a chorus of your disdain

Picking up the past I left behind

I’m searching solution on the double

On this two ton telephone

My friend says you ain’t got no real trouble

Just too many choices you left undone

My friend like all of the rest says

Put an action to these words

And it’ll all come

Women and wine

Never went so well

Make a man crazy

Make him cold as hell

I know baby that you wish me well

But in spite of all your trying

Still gonna have to find my own way through

Time has a way of turning my head around

Like a groove of sunshine on the cloudiest of days

Now the wind is blowing in the right direction for me

With a candle under my seat

And good ground under my feet

To walk on
