lyrics
A drop of wine
To wash away the pain
As I forget
Each thing you've said today
Oh, sure, we're friends
And that's how I'm sure we'll stay
I still can't look away
And I forget
Just why I didn't ask
I guess you'd say
I wasn't equal to the task
I looked ahead
And I didn't see a "yes"
I'm always second best
Now you're with him it's a comic tragedy
And in your eyes I bet it's better him than me
So strike me blind 'cause I just can't bear to see
That you're with him
And he's not me
A drop of rain
To wash away these tears
I cry in vain
'Cause they won't bring you here
I lost you then
'Cause of what I never said
But even if I did
You'd be with him, in this....
In my heart I know that this is what you need
You've suffered long and hard you've earned your lease from grief
But deep inside you know I still hold the belief
That you belong with me
A drop of sun
To wash away the night
I tossed and turned
Awakened by the light
Of your sweet face
And it's all I really need
Even in my dreams
You're still with him, in this....
To wash away the pain
As I forget
Each thing you've said today
Oh, sure, we're friends
And that's how I'm sure we'll stay
I still can't look away
And I forget
Just why I didn't ask
I guess you'd say
I wasn't equal to the task
I looked ahead
And I didn't see a "yes"
I'm always second best
Now you're with him it's a comic tragedy
And in your eyes I bet it's better him than me
So strike me blind 'cause I just can't bear to see
That you're with him
And he's not me
A drop of rain
To wash away these tears
I cry in vain
'Cause they won't bring you here
I lost you then
'Cause of what I never said
But even if I did
You'd be with him, in this....
In my heart I know that this is what you need
You've suffered long and hard you've earned your lease from grief
But deep inside you know I still hold the belief
That you belong with me
A drop of sun
To wash away the night
I tossed and turned
Awakened by the light
Of your sweet face
And it's all I really need
Even in my dreams
You're still with him, in this....

about
Paul Tabachneck New York
I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
