Autumn Wine - Lyrics - Unicorn (uk)

A flying wedge of summer birds Heads for parts unknown We sit and sip our autumn wine But all the grapes are gone I'd be leaving in the morning If I knew how to fly Like the winter sun I've forgotten how to try We sit and sip our autumn wine But all the grapes are gone Skin like ancient documents And a tremble in the bones A drink could take the chill away But all the grapes are gone. Let me trace the coastline Through the wind and rain The sparkling days are over They won't be back again A drink could take the chill away But all the grapes are gone. Slow and steady falling rain Clouds across the dawn We sat and drank the night away Now all the grapes are gone I wish I was a beach boy On the california coast Wearing nothing but a smile Instead of overcoats We sat and drank the night away Now all the grapes are gone
