I Will Drink the Wine Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

Someone said, drink the water, but I will drink the wine
Someone said, take a poor man, riches don′t have a dime
Go fool yourselves if you will, I just haven't got the time
Yes you can drink the water (yes you can drink the water)
But I will drink the wine

Someone gave me some small flowers, I held them in my hand
I looked at them for several hours, I didn′t understand
Go fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hand
I'll give you back your flowers (give you back your flowers)
And I will take the land and I will drink the wine


Sometimes I'm very very lonely, there′s only me to care
And when I′m very very lonely, I want someone to share
I'm gonna drink the wine, I′m gonna take my time
And believe in a world that is mine

Someone gave me flowers, held them in my hand
Looked at them for many hours, didn't understand
Go on and fool yourselves if you will, you can hold out your hands
I′ll you give back your flowers (I'll you give back your flowers)
And I will take the land

And I will drink the wine, and I will take the land
I will drink the wine.
