Woman Or Wine

It was the night we dine
And I beheld this sight
Desire I cannot fight
Woman or wine

Allure I wont decline

At the meeting of her thighs all men dream
Her feet, hardened and bruised
Yet she keep moving

As I wind down to zero
But I know the sun will rise again

I am lost in this stormy rain
Tossed by fierce winds day after day
My strength the storm has drain
But I wait on hope's smiley ray
When the sun will rise again

I know the sun will rise again
I have groped in pitch darkness
