(Richard Thompson) 



Dust And Wine 

That's what my world is 

Dust And Wine 

That's what she said 

Everything I hold seems to crumble 

So I hold a bottle instead 



Dust and Wine 

Ashes and sorrow 

Dust and Wine 

And a pauper's bed 

So I drink like no tomorrow 

Dust and Wine 



Pipe dreams of mine let me down 

Assembly line let me down 

Partners in crime let me down 

Jemima let me down too 



Friends are gone and 

Love is gone and 

Light is fading from my eyes 

Pour me wine against the darkness 

Light a lamp to burn inside 



Dust And Wine 

Easy on the throttle 

Dust And Wine 

That's what she said 

Take your pick 

Me or the bottle 

Dust And Wine 



O landlord fetch me something 

To get my valves pumping 

I see it all clearly 

When I'm flying way up here 



Dust And Wine 

Living like a wino 

Dust And Wine 

Clear out of my head 

Got my nose 

Down on the lino 

Dust And Wine
