LEFTOVER WINE
Melanie Safka


What do you do when the people go home 
and what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
but what will I do with the leftover wine

A line from a poem of my childhood has said
that visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
but I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine
I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme
and then I'll sing them a song of mine
you know Ii'm gonna do anything - just to take up time
cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine

(and) what do you do when the people go home
and what do you do when the show is all done
I know what I'll do in the alone of my time
but what will I do with the leftover wine
I'm gonna spend my whole life making the time rhyme
and then i'm gonna run to the people
and I'll sing them a song of mine
you know I'm gonna do anything - just to take up time
cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine

I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
because I can't stand the taste of that leftover wine
and I'm gonna drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
because I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
and I'll drink some of yours
If you'll drink all of mine
I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
