Inspired by the film of the same name. It was one of those that, seemingly, just fell out of the ether. Lyrics were done in about five minutes and the music took about ten (yeah, I know; it shows, right?). From another life. A long time ago…
We usually meet in an alcohol haze
Safe and secure from realities’ gaze
Have a drink or two my dear
We know that it sweetens the bitterest tear
Chorus
Days of Wine and Roses, we thought they’d never end
Days of wine and Roses, too late to start again
Again
Exiles from the norm in a twilight place
We keep the lines blurred as the scars on our face
Proclaim our decay and keep our place at the bar
We’re just living to die, we can’t go too far
Chorus
Days of Wine and Roses, we thought they’d never end
Days of wine and Roses, too late to start again
Again
We’re fading away and dark grows our night
And cold is our day as we snuff out our light
But warm is our world with bottles for friends
Life’s overrated and everything ends
Chorus
Days of Wine and Roses, we thought they’d never end
Days of wine and Roses, too late to start again
Again
