Lyrics:

 Last night in the street collapsed on itself
  in fact, it broke right in two
  and I fell in
  the strawberry vines
  into a pool of strawberry wine
  Strawberry wine and clouds
  burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers
  But the stems broke the armor
  and the morning comes
  until its all just the same things again
  oh god,
  don't spend too much time on the other side
  let the daylight in,
  before you get old and you cant break out of it
   
  my old friend,
  cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers
  you gotta get your seeds in
  and I worry about you, why? because you want me to
   
  Can you still have any famous last words
  if you're nobody somebody nobody knows,
  I don't know
  Somebody go and ask Clair
  she's been dead twenty years just look at her hair
  strawberry blonde with curls
  she gets hair done then she gossips
  with the younger waitress girls at the bar
  the old Irish rose
  drinking strawberry wine
  until it comes out her nose
  she spent too much time on the other side,
  and she forgot to let the daylight in
   
  before you get old you'd better break out of it
  my old friend,
  cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers
  you gotta get your seeds in to the ground,
  and I worry about you,
  why because you want me too
   
  This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge
  he was angry about a letter he received from his friend
  he fell in
  to the arms of the most beautiful girls
  that have ever lived in the history of the world
   
  and with nothing left to lose he got screwed
  he sold his apartment before they made him move
  then he jumped straight in
  to the san Francisco bay
  now he lives on Molly's farm
  picking berries all day
   
  don't spend too much time on the other side
  let the daylight in
   
  Marty was a kid when he learned steal boats
  his dad was a deejay on the radio
  he fell in
  to a life
  of riverboat crime
  now has the man you see in prison
  if you want strawberry wine
  Strawberry wine and smokes
  he sent a letter to his friend
  explaining one night on coke
  he and Clair
  jumped in to the strawberry vines
  and lord knows you get lost
  on that strawberry wine
   
  don't spend too much time on the other side,
  let the daylight in
   
  and imp getting old and I gotta break out of it
  my old friend,
  cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers
  I gotta get those seeds in to the ground,
  and if you worry about me
  don't bother
  why?
  ill be fine
  imp just sitting here laughing
  little old me and my
  strawberry wine
