Pauper's Wine

Mordred


Pauper's Wine
On the roof something wasn't clicking 
Like the blade on a pocket knife that just won't unfold 
Rain on my face couldn't help my disposition 
It was clearly a mission for the comfort of the road 

Passed me by one too many times 
And the wick get old but I'm fine 
Save your pennies and your pity 
Save them all for pauper's wine 
Save for pauper's wine 

Help me up, help me off 
Merge through the exit in three quarters of a mile 
She was the light of day, but she was never mine 
Took just enough to make me smile 

In the dark, I know that's where she kept me 
And it never bothered me, until the light 
Shining, I can handle the truth I said 

Passed me by one too many times 
Wick gets old but I'm doing fine, doing fine 
Save your pennies, save your pity 
Save them all for pauper's wine, save for pauper's wine
