Drinking Wine Alone Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Joel Jaffe) 

I'm laying by the river, on a sunny afternoon 

The glass of wine beside me, is the colour of the sun 

Then the river moves inside me, and it all comes rushing back 

There's something about drinking wine alone 

I'm sitting at the table, staring at my plate 

The meal I fixed so carefully, is wasted I can't eat 

The first taste touched a place in me, I'm still afraid to find 

There's something about drinking wine alone 

There are traces of her waiting, in the place I least expect 

A laugh, a sudden movement, a lighted cigarette 

Am I hiding from the very thing, I tried so hard to find 

There's something about drinking wine alone 

I have wasted something precious, and it quickly slipped away 

Like moonbeams through my fingers, as I turned the other way 

Am I waiting for a miracle, or have I just been blind 

There's something about drinking wine alone
