Cass McCombs
The Wine of Lebanon
[Verse 1]
What's left when fortune fair returns a thief?
Providence is too brief
What's left to grieve?
Currency, the bitter end
After the flood, what remains?

[Chorus]
The wine of Lebanon
The wine of Lebanon

[Verse 2]
What's left when harvest tugs upon her yoke?
Cruel garters around her, choke
What's left to hope?
Strap me down into your chair
Whip me 'til I beg for air

[Chorus]
The wine of Lebanon
The wine of Lebanon

[Verse 3]
What's left of decadence after a year?
Pulling them from ear to ear
What holds a man?
A lottery of emptiness
What is left?
What is right?
[Chorus]
The wine of Lebanon
You offered me
The wine of Lebanon
Flowing free
The wine of Lebanon
So red and true
The wine of Lebanon
What can I offer you?
What can I offer you?
