We took a walk in the August rain
Lightening in the sky and inside my brain
Picking pink columbines and wild plantain
Lightening in the sky and inside my brain
Time is a strange bird of prey
I pray it leaves you with me til I'm old and grey
Blackberry wine, end of the summer time
You grew your hair down to your waist
Your lips grew pale, your thoughts came unlaced
You mortgaged your body to give us life,
Put down your paints, you became a wife
Time is a strange bird of prey
I pray it leaves you with me til I'm old and grey
Blackberry wine, end of the summer time
Thunderclouds are breakin'
Barrels are being shaken and we're lost
Lost in the past
And we've been fakin'
Love's a fermentation that when poured
Breaks the glass
Blackberry wine, end of the summer time
Whoa I'm losing my mind
Trying to keep what was once mine
