A Basket of Fruit and a Bottle of Wine Lyrics

Excuse me for asking but is that really you?

Can I buy you a drink and a distillery too?

Will you bear all my children and sit by the fire

On an ice covered night wrapped in Christmas desire?

Excuse me for asking is this how you are?

Can I buy you a drink or a small foreign car?

Can I use you at night when my fantasies dream?

About a valley that's fed by a fresh mountain stream

Where we lay on a blanket as the planets align

With a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine?

Excuse me for saying whatever I say

I haven't seen beauty like yours 'till today

Tomorrow is meaningless now that you're here

I have what I've waited for year after year

Excuse me for saying that I can't find the words

To ask for your heart while I break mine in thirds

One part for the past where it froze in its place

One part for the magic that glows on your face

One part for a future with your hand in mine

And a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine

Excuse me for asking but am I alive?

It feels like nirvana inside of this dive

With the light from your eyes burning inside my chest

Who would have thought it?

Who would've guessed?

Excuse me for saying that we don't need to speak

Of memories that challenge and feelings that leak

All over the floors and the windows we share

I don't know the answers

The questions aren't fair

Let me break through your halo my goddess divine

I've a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine

Excuse me for asking but is that really you?

Can I buy you a drink and a distillery too?

Will you bear all my children and sit by the fire

On an ice covered night wrapped in Christmas desire?

Excuse me for asking is this how you are?

Can I buy you a drink or a small foreign car?

Can I use you at night when my fantasies dream?

About a valley that's fed by a fresh mountain stream

Where we lay on a blanket as the planets align

With a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine?

With a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine
