Once in a life
We lived in a sanctuary
A song could get us free
Slept behind the altar
Only the singer saw
Now is it gone, years on
Times we took alone
Stealing an hour, buying a night
It's hard on the telephone
Love outside the law
Je' tant rêve du toi
--
Is it gone, this year
Is the song still in your ear
Or were we only high
Just the wine
Just the wine
was it Only the time ?
When we're old
How will are story be told
Windswept smoke used by time
Waiting for the bus
Will that be us?
Do you recall my friend
We never thought we'd ever fall
When the salesman came to call
Selling our soul to buy
Sometimes it ain't no deal at all
Je' tant rêve du toi

Thanks to paul-net@excite.com for submitting the lyrics.
Just the Wine perfectly captures Heart at their delicate and poetic best. Sensitive, dreamy lyrics combined with soft guitar and orchestration allow this song to float above the listener's head then gently settle down and wrap them in an intricate melodic blanket. Only Joni Mitchell could approach these same emotions and sentiment as the Wilson sisters examine a relationship, the romantic beginnings..."/was it the wine/...or only the times?/" - and a wishful yet cloudy future..."/waitng for the bus/...will that be us?/". Each provocative stanza is followed by the beautiful French phrase -"Jai tant reve du toi". Loosely translated - "I dream of you often."
Aspiring songwriters, lyricists, poets need examine these and other Hearts offering ( Dream of the Archer, Nada One, How deep it goes) and study the balance and form. As Ann Wilson coos near the last line "when we're old/ how will our story be told?/, this gorgeous song beckons us to do just that...How will our story be told?
