Hard to find
Love is blind
Acquaintances can be unkind
State of mind
Show a sign
Hope divine
Just making love to pass the time
Music and wine were the only friends of mine
Used to make love just to have a laugh
Music and wine were the only friends I had (here's that lovin' 2x)
Bitter break
Hard to take
Hearts'll ache
This loneliness is hard to face
Hollow soul
Freezing cold
Feelin' older
And poverty will take it's toll
Used to get high just to pass the time
Music and wine were the only friends of mine
Used to make love just to have a laugh
Music and wine were the only friends I had (here's that lovin' 2x)
Gin and lime
Summertime
Starry nights
And memories of better times
Ocean breeze
Wind in leaves
Waking dream
Alive with possibility
Here's that lovin' here's that lovin'
This love's for real that lovin' here's that lovin'
The lyrics of this song revolve around the recurring themes of love, heartbreak, loneliness, and the power of music and memories to provide solace in bleak times. The songwriter describes how at times love can be hard to find and how it blinds us to certain realities, but even with acquaintances that may be unkind, hope for a divine love still lingers. The songwriter then goes on to describe how they used to get high just to pass the time, and how in those moments, music and wine were their only friends. They would only make love just to have some laughs and music, and wine were the only things that brought them some comfort. The songwriter then describes the bitterness of a hard break-up or heartbreak, how much it can hurt, and how it leaves an ache in one's heart. The loneliness that follows is depressing, and it seems like the only thing left is a hollow soul that makes them feel older beyond their years.
