Mo Zowayed

Wine and Sunshine

 

Your red lipstick's got nowhere to hide

Came out tonight, looking for a fight

All you found was a breezy day

But you kicked up a storm anyways

 

Your high heels they've nowhere to step

The soil is soft and the grass is wet

Take em off feel the Earth kiss your feet

Let it go Eileen, Eileen

 

But all the wine and the sunshine in the world

Won't put me back in your arms but it's a start

Go now and tell her that he's slurrin' and stumblin' in the sun,

oh what fun, oh what fun

Tomorrow morning's gonna sink my heart

 

Many times you saved my brain 

But your golden skin kept me insane

Now the tales you tell are pretty wild

But I, I don't mind, I don't mind

 

My bags are packed and I've sold my car

Im heading east on a journey wide and far

In my dreams I'll be under our tree

so goodbye Eileen, Eileen

 

But all the wine and the sunshine in the world

Won't put me back in your arms but it's a start

Go now and tell her that he's slurrin' and stumblin' in the sun,

oh what fun, oh what fun

Tomorrow morning's gonna sink my heart 

 

With a bottle in a brown bag below a night sky flecked with stars

Fisticuffs and cheap Dominican cigars

Drown the roar of the swingin' downtown bars

Where without a doubt in my mind you're dancing free, you are

Giant Sequoias and small electric cars 

I'm from far away parts, oh how I long for those parts

That island that has my heart...

 

But all the wine and the sunshine in the world

Won't put me back in your arms but it's a start

Go now and tell her that he's slurrin' and stumblin' in the sun,

oh what fun, oh what fun.

Tomorrow morning's gonna sink my heart...
