BITTER WINE

VS 1
SPENDING MY TIME DRINKING BITTER WINE
NOW THAT YOU’RE GONE I JUST STUMBLE ON
IF I’D IF I’D TREATED YOU BETTER LIKE I KNEW THAT I SHOULD
WE JUST MIGHT HAVE WEATHERED THE STORMS RODE THE BAD WITH THE GOOD
WHERE CAN I GO NOW WHAT DO I DO?
NOW THAT I’VE THROWN AWAY MY LIFE WITH YOU.

VS2
IF REGRETS COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND BE ALL WASHED AWAY
I’D PAY ANY PRICE TO FIND YOU JUST LOOKING MY WAY
AND I’D KNOW WHAT I HAD IN YOU WHAT A TREASURE I’D FOUND
I WOULDN’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE SECOND TIME AROUND
I’D DO ANYTHING I COULD TO ALTER THIS FATE
I’D BE THE MAN YOU WANTED BUT NOW IT’S TOO LATE

M6
IF REGRETS ARE WORTH ANYTHING I MUST BE A RICH MAN
WITH THE WORLD AT MY FEET I SNATCHED DEFEAT
AND NOW THERE’S NO MORE I CAN LOSE
AND MY ONLY FRIEND I HAVE LEFT IS THE BLUES

SOLO

VS 3
SPENDING MY TIME DRINKING BITTER WINE
GETTING USED TO THE TASTE, IT’S SUCH A WASTE
HAD I BEEN A BETTER MAN AND DID WHAT I SHOULD
WE MIGHT HAVE MADE IT, GIRL IT MIGHT HAVE COME GOOD
WHAT I DO NOW WHERE CAN I GO?
NOW THAT I’VE LOST YOU BABY I’LL NEVER KNOW, I’LL NEVER KNOW

about

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
