Song Information:

This is the third song in the "Woman In a Bar" trilogy. The other two songs are Gin & Tonic and Whiskey Neat, Water Back.

All three songs were written by enicholsIC and UncletupeloFan, so they are the ones who deserve the bulk of the praise. I was brought on by them as a singer, and I'm grateful for the opportunity, as I think all three songs are something of which to be proud.

Song Lyrics:

The deadbolt turns behind me
Waiting on a taxi to take me home
The driver knows just where to find me
And I never felt more alone

Takes about an hour for me to get here
But it never seems that long
Cause I can see you through your window
And you leave the light on til Im gone

Love is a desert and my lips are dry
The noonday sun is burning red
But in the shadow of a bottle, baby
Thats where I lay my head.

Thousand times I picked up the phone
To see if you remember my name
Angers been the one thing that I own
Other than a stool on 10th and Main

I see you put that pot of coffee on
I know you drink Earl Gray
Rub my shoulders till the chill is gone
Tell me its gonna be okay

Yeah, love is a desert to this drifting crow
Who used to be your daughter
If I grab the hem of your coat and never let go
Will you turn the wine back into water?

Maybe tonight Im gonna cross the street
I wonder if you would be shocked
Youve never risen from your seat
But I bet that doors unlocked

A long walk across your wet grass
Tonight Ill try to pay the price
Never found it in the bottom of a glass
I guess its time to melt the ice.

Yeah, love is a desert to this drifting crow
Who used to be your daughter
If I grab the hem of your coat and never let go
Will you turn the wine back into water?

Will you turn the wine back into water?
