Sorrow Overtakes The Wine Lyrics - Mel Tillis

They say my tears come from the bottle that stands beside me all the time 

But I wonder if they know the sorrow that always overtakes the wine 

I drink to find forgetful valleys where I can leave old memories behind 

But always just before I reach them sorrow overtakes the wine 

[ steel ] 

These tears can find me when I'm sober they're quick to show up anytime 

And I always try to drink them under but sorrow overtakes the wine 

I drink to find forgetful valleys... 

Sorrow overtakes the wine
