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
