Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

It's been a long, long year my love

ch feel like my heart a go tear
how we miss all de fete
and de rum dat we never had

But next year not far

Queen of the Bacchanal

Tell me where you waiting to
Come see me on de road?
Tell me that you waiting to
Come see me on shows?
Months without yuh wine,

To act like you ah go mad
You're the best wine I ever had
