Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I waited till I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

[Verse 2]

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand

[Chorus]

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind forever

[Verse 3]

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road alone

[Chorus]

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind forever

[Verse 4]

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come
