Strawberry Wine
"He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car, yeah,
I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child,
One restless summer we found love growing wild
On the banks of the river on a well beaten path, its
Funny how those memories they last"
"Like strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bittersweet
But Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine"
"I still remember when thirty was old
My biggest fear was September when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall
But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste"
"Her biggest fear was September when he had to go."
She begged and pleaded for him not to leave, not to leave her to rot in this place, that only seemed bearable when he was around. But he left her, broken and alone, the taste of Strawberry wine on her lips.
"Of strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bittersweet
But Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine"
"The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen a plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much
yeah"
When she grew older long after she left the place that she loved and hated at the same time. She comes back, surrounded by memories of them together, this time she doesn't hate him, she isn't bitter, she just remembers. If she looks hard enough she can see him, and everything looks exactly the same.
She'll never forget that summer, her seventeenth, his smile, the wind in her hair, his car and of course that strawberry wine.
"Of strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bittersweet
But Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine"
