I'll open the bottle that closes the past
Just filling up top by draining my glass
She's out of my life, but she's still on my mind
So I'm chilling her memory in the warmth of the wine.

The taste is so bitter, but the glow is so sweet
The man she dismantled is once more complete
The pieces of my life she scattered so fine
Once more fused together in the warmth of the wine.

The warmth of the wine is like soul saving fire
Without it, I'd freeze in the storm of desire
But with it I'll make it and I feel so fine
My cold facts of life is in the warmth of the wine

For some it's too early, but for me it's too late
The wine sets me free, but I cannot escape
So I'll sit here each night till they turn out the sign
Out of the cold, in the warmth of the wine
And out of the cold, in the warmth of the wine
