The Ship - White Wine lyrics

I need you like I have to have the sunrise To bring to me the day through curtain lace I need you more than what it takes to live through Another morning sun without your face And I need you just as honest as the river That flows beyond the country to the sea I need you just as lasting as the ocean That reaches for the rivers deep in me, flowing deep in me You're the reason for my knowing what has happened in the past You're the season that is turning fair at last, fair at last You can tell I need to know it long before I've thought to ask You can save the balance if we love too fast You've the eyes of fire and agate burning bright beneath the sky You can turn the wheels of fortune if you try, if you try And you know the pain of patience when you see it in my eyes And you know the pain of loving when it dies We will take our love a little at a time Like the white wine that fills our drinking gla** Learn to taste the reason in our lives Learn to sip it slowly, let it last I've written songs to tell you how I'm feeling So here is one to tell you to your face A man must live by what he has to offer But songs are not enough to take your place They'll never take your place And I need you just as honest as the river That flows beyond the country to the sea I need you just as lasting as the ocean That reaches for the rivers deep in me, flowing deep in me Like the white wine that's flowing deep in me Like the white wine that's flowing deep in me Like the white wine that's flowing deep in me
