Sweet relief awaits me forgetfulness is mine
When I drink my wine, when drink my wine
I can feel no pain, no shame, I leave it all behind
When I drink my wine, when I drink my wine
I forget there ever was a love I once called mine
When I drink my wine, when drink my wine
There's no past, no future, I have no track of time
When I drink my wine, when drink my wine
When I drink my wine I forget I used to be
A man with dignity and pride
And I forget that I am now a drunkard on the street
Cause all my hopes and dreams and plans have died
When I drink my wine I forget how much I love her
And I can get her off my mind
When I drink my wine, when drink my wine
