Turning it into water

Al Stewart · Just Yesterday [2005]

I used to have a secret cellar

Where I kept the sweetest of my wine

Now it seems that I've been too long

Hanging on the vine



And now she's turning it into water

Never be the same again

She's turning it into water

All my wine tastes like the rain



Damp has peeled away my labels,

I can't read the writing any more,

Nothing here to grace my tables

Nothing left to store



And now she's turning it into water

Never be the same again

She's turning it into water

All my wine tastes like the rain



Go bar the cellar door

Throw out the rusty key

Won't go there anymore

There is no mystery

There's nothing there to see



Now I've lost these hopes and wishes

I'm never going to change the way she feels

The cupboard's bare of loaves and fishes

All that time reveals is that



She's turning it into water

Never be the same again

She's turning it into water

All my wine tastes like the rain.
