Lyrics
Come sit and watch the rain my friend
Dripping down the vine
Have a little taste my friend
of Mother Nature's Wine
Have a little taste my friend
'cause it's oh so fine
Don't you let it waste my friend
it's Mother Nature's Wine
Mother Nature's Wine
It's Mother Nature's Wine
The Everglades of Time
...
We're traveling down a dusty lane
and we're losing time
We threw away our cups of rain
and we've wasted all of the wine
Tasted all the wine
Lord Bacchus tends the vine
He's wasted all the time
(he's wasted)
We're floating on a sea of grass
and we've pressed the wine
Paradise is in our grasp
and the treasure's on the vine
Mother Nature's Wine
Mother Nature's Wine
The Everglades of Time
The Everglades of Time
