Wine And Blood Lyrics - Gov't Mule

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come 

Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes 

Now she just feels numb 

There was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town 

Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down 

She stares out the window at the world passing by 

She's caught beneath the wheel too heavy to lift, she feels too weak to try 

People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in 

To fill the void where her heart once was 

Now she just fills her glass again and again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And she walks the floor less traveled, thinks of a sad melody 

Wine and blood don't mix like they used to, now they just make a memory 

Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man 

Now the picture is clear 

She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 

'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears 

All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial 

She takes comfort in the night, darkness blocks the light 

From falling on her aging smile 

Gray befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane 

And her eyes don't shine like they used to 

Without the moon, the sun would be in vain 

So she walks the floor less traveled, thinks of a sad melody 

Wine and blood don't mix like they used to, now they just make a memory 

Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man 

Now the picture is clear 

She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past 

'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

She puts on her make-up though no one's seen her for days 

Her silence is a lonely cry, she's trapped inside a maze 

Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression 

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again
