Píseň: Water With the Wine

Met him on a Monday 
 And he said he loved me so 
 Walked me to my door 
 Before I knew it to my living room


 I thought there was no need for worry 
 When he took me in his arms 
 Drank some whisky 
 Hung his coat upon the stand


 That's when the music started 
 I heard the light switch click 
 I stumbled on a lost shoe 
 The fever's starting


 This man was getting hot 
 I got no strength to make him stop 
 I guess it's too late 
 But I'll know next time 
 To mix some water with the wine


 The sun came pouring in at five 
 Upon my face 
 I felt the taste of last night's love 
 Upon my lips 
 I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it 
 Or had not 
 But there across the pillow was the face 
 I had forgot


 That's when he said he loved me 
 Could be the truth this time 
 He put his arms about me 
 Fever's starting


 This man was getting hot 
 I got no strength to make him stop 
 I guess it's too late 
 But I'll know next time 
 To mix some water with the wine
