Drunkard’s Waltz

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I come knock on the door and I rap on the heart You've got stars in your eyes, it's a fine place to start And I get a message that I take is divine With the wind at our back till we're over the line And tomorrow's too late for this sort of thing For the sun may not rise and the soul doesn't sing [Chorus] There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz) If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle) We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love) Be mine tonight [Verse 2] There's a church on the hill where the desperate ones go They lay their bodies and their blood in the snow There's a longing in you that I've noticed in me We were lashed as a dog and so splendidly free There's a taste in my mouth for the love unrefined That was scorched into clay at the beginning of time [Chorus] There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz) If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle) We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love) Be mine tonight [Verse 3] Down at the river one day waits the ghost Turning into the people that we hide from the most And I'll swing from the stars and you'll run through the trees Like Venus in April with mud on your knees And if death hangs around and he laughs at us all Seems the higher we get, the further we fall [Chorus] There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz) If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle) We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love) There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz) If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle) We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love) There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz) If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle) We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love) Be mine tonight
