Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day

When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest

in a big field of tall grass

I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,

an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome

should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world

In front of every kind of girl, there was

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy

She said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]

I thought to myself what could that mean

Am I going crazy or is this just a dream

Now, wait a minute

I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere

so it's all in my head

and then.. I heard her say one more time:

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back

As she disappeared, but soon she returned

In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass

She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass

And raised it to her lips

And just before she drank it, she said:

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Come on everyone we gotta get together now

Oh yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow

And the beauty of life can only survive

If we love one another

Oh yeah yesterday my friends were marching out to war

Oh yeah listen now we ain't a marching anymore

No we ain't gonna fight

Only God has the right

To decide who's to live and die

He gave us sweet cherry wine

so very fine

Drink it right down, pass it all around

So stimulating, so intoxicating

Sweet cherry wine

To open your mind

And everybody's gonna feel so fine

Drinking sweet cherry wine

Yes they will

Watch the mountain turn

To dust and glow away

Oh Lord, you know there's got to be a better way

And the old masquerade is a no soul parade

Marchin' through the ruins of time

To save us He gave us sweet cherry wine

Sweet cherry wine, so very fine

Drink it right down

Pass it all around

So stimulating, so intoxicating

Sweet cherry wine

Drink it with your brother

Trust in one another, yeah, yeah

He gave us sweet cherry wine

Sweet cherry wine

Drink it right down

Pass it all around

People don't you know the cup is running over

A toast to John Entwistle.

OLD RED WINE

Pete Townshend wrote this in New York during The Who's 2002 tour. It was written in memory of bass player John Entwistle, who died on June 27, 2002. Entwistle loved red wine and often drank it past it's prime, which is where the lyrics for the song came from.

Old red wine

Well past its prime

May have to finish it

After crossing the line

Dusty old wine

Two thousand a time

An inch of black mud

Always left behind

They say you turned in

While the sun still shined

That gorgeous girl with you

Was highly primed

She said she'd take you

Way down or way up

She might break your heart

She might crack you up

Old red wine

Not worth a dime

Gonna have to drink it with yer

Some other time

Expensive old wine

Forty years lying

Mice chewed the labels

Don't know what we're buying

Back home in California

They got wine for the meek

There's the Bowl and the Fillmore

The Cow and the Greek

You sniffed at the cork

Chose low on the list

Held your glass to the light

And gazed through the mist

Old red wine

Well past its prime

Gonna have to drink it with you

Some other time''.

Let it breathe

Let it breathe

Let it breathe
