Lyrics Sip the Wine - Rick Danko, Paul Butterfield

Sip the Wine

I want to lay down beside you
I want to hold your body close to mine
Like a grape that grows ripe in the sunshine
There comes a time when we must sip the wine
I can tell by lookin … that you’re not mine girl
I believe everything I told you was true
There’s a child here that wants to start livin
And you know that this child will get it’s start
from me and you
Close your eyes … and don’t you think of nothing
Let your thoughts remain here inside this room
Lay your head beside me on my pillow
And I will share this night with you
We must sip the wine … till it feels alright
We must sip the wine … into the night
We must sip the wine … together …
