Come Share the Wine
Embrace the Warmth: Finding Home in a Foreign Tune
Lyrics
The streets were dark and the night was cold and yet I walk alone
The narrator walks alone on dark and cold streets.
I saw the lights of a cozy place with lanterns all aglow
The narrator sees a warmly lit place with lanterns.
Somebody cried, "Don't wait outside, come say, hello"
Someone invites the narrator inside to say hello.
The people there, they were singing songs I knew when I was young
The people inside are singing songs from the narrator's youth.
And from the jukebox I heard the sounds, I needed to recall
The jukebox plays familiar sounds, evoking memories.
I sang along with every song, I knew them all
The narrator sings along with every song, knowing them all.
