Won’t somebody stop the dawn outside
So no one sees the starlight in my eyes?
Wishing this red wine would kill the pain
But the world keeps turning just the same

And it’s ringing memories in my head
I may be breathing, but frankly, I am dead

The wine and you break me in two
Burning through my veins
Another drink, so I may think
You’ll be here to stay

I’m sending out a message through the winds
That weeps so sad, like a thousand violins
Asking you to forgive me and forget
After you, I’m still breathing
But, frankly, I am dead

The wine and you break me in two
Burning through my veins
Another drink, so I may think
You’ll be here to stay

The wine and you break me in two
Burning through my veins
Another drink, so I may think
You’ll be here to stay

Why won’t somebody, just anybody
Stop the dawn outside?
