Cherry Wine Lyrics by The Other Favorites

Unamericana

2021

[Verse 1]
Well the bull is on the run
And the bear has come
The time is ripe for moving to Chicago
Got a cousin out there who still recalls my mother
With a sofa bed in the basement of his brownstone
Now the arm of the law has long been broken
Still its grubby little fingers grasp at me
I wear your silver locket as a token
Of the everlasting love I long to keep
[Chorus]
I have seen the gilded palace
Where you drink your cherry wine
And fill the chalice of another
Oh, soon, it will be mine
[Verse 2]
I filched a wedding dress from my ex-lover
Fixed a job to pay off my tuxedo
Two boys in a flatbed under cover
Only one will make it to Toledo
I heard your new companion is a chaplain
Well what do you think he'd charge to read the vows?
I reek of Famous Grouse and Midwest farmland
Stumbling up the front steps to your house
[Chorus]
I have seen the gilded palace
Where you drink your cherry wine
And fill the chalice of another
Oh, soon, it will be mine
[Verse 3]
I have another pull of my whiskey
Say, "I've come to take back what belongs to me"
He says "I think I understand you correctly
I've got a housewarming gift up my sleeve"
Now I've stared down a birdshot-loaded rifle
I've given both my ears to bowie knives
But the .357 smokeless ain't no trifle
You can see clean through my chest to the other side
[Chorus]
All my hatred, all my malice
Flowing out like cherry wine
I will plague you here no longer
You were never to be mine
All my hatred, all my malice
Flowing out like cherry wine
I will plague you here no longer
You were never to be mine
I will plague you here no longer
You were never to be mine
