"The Wine Remembers The Water" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

When the tide goes out
Gotta wonder if it ever wanted to leave
And not come back

Like a frisbee on the roof
Under the sun's living proof
Thinks "heaven ain't so bad"

Does the wine remember when
It was the water?
When you stop to get clean, that's when
Things start to go missing

Goin' out of business
Open but the shelves picked clean
All ghost and no machine
Like a crow doesn't know
That it has wings, it just goes
The hills just shrink and grow
In a transforming world

Does the wine remember when
It was the water?
When you stop to get clean, that's when
Things start to go missing
Does the wine remember when
It was the water?
