Cowboy Junkies
Bread and Wine
Well I'm lyin' in my bed, a tangle of arms and legs
But the one that I'm with is not the one bouncing round my head
I could turn this into song or cheap fantasy
But whatever I've ignited will still burn in me
Bread and wine, bread and wine
Your heart ain't nearly as guilty as mine
I'm a dark heavy heart, I'm a soul full of holes
I'm a boat that's sinking, muddy waters threatening this baggage in my hold
And there's a line in my head from an old gospel song
But no matter how hard I try, the words just come out wrong
Bread and wine, bread and wine
Your thoughts ain't nearly as wicked as mine
Bread and wine, bread and wine
Your cross ain't nearly as heavy as mine
I've been graced by the gift of a gold wedding band
I've been soothed by the simple caress of my true love's hand
And yet I'm lyin' in my bed, a tangle of arms and legs
And the one that I'm with is not the one that I'm dreaming of
Bread and wine, bread and wine
Won't you please be my bread and wine?
Bread and wine, bread and wine
Won't you please be my bread and wine?
