Spill the Wine Lyrics
|
Artist(Band):War
|
|
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
|
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass.
|
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face.
|
As I fell asleep and dreamed,
|
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie,
|
And that I was the star of the movie.
|
This really blew my mind,
|
The fact that me, an overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome,
|
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie...Hmm
|
But there I was...Mmm
|
|
I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings.
|
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world,
|
In front of every kind of girl...
|
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones,
|
Brown ones, black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...
|
Out of the middle, came a lady,
|
She whispered in my ear something crazy,
|
She said...
|
|
CHORUS:
|
"Spill the wine and take that girl,
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl,
|
Spill the wine and take that girl,
|
Spill the wine and take that pearl,"
|
|
I thought to myself,
|
"What could that mean?
|
Am I going crazy...
|
or is this just a dream?
|
Now wait a minute; I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere,
|
so it's all in my head."
|
And then...
|
I heard her say one more time...
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
|
As she disappeared, but soon she returned.
|
In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass.
|
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass,
|
And raised it to her lips,
|
And just before she drank it, she said...
|
|
"Take the wine and take that girl,
|
Spill the wine and take that girl,
|
Spill the wine and take that girl,
|
Spill the wine and take that girl."
|
|
"Take that girl...Yeah!
|
It's all yours; you gotta do it.
|
Spill that wine.
|
Spill that wine..."
