Just The Wine Lyrics

Once in a life
We lived in a sanctuary
A song could get us free
Slept behind the altar
Only the singer saw

Now it is gone, years on
Times we took alone
Stealing an hour, buying a night
It's hard on the telephone
Love outside the law
Jai tant reve du toi

Is it gone, this year
Is the song still in your ear
Were we only high
Just the wine
Only the times

When we're old
How will the 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
Jai tant reve du toi

Well, I tried using an online translator to try and figure out what "jai tant reve do toi" means and the best i can figure is something like so many dreams I've shared with you. I think the theme of the song is the question, "were things really that good back then or does the passing of time somehow make it seem so?" like wine getting sweeter with age.maybe things haven't been that great lately and the singer has been reminiscing about the good old days.

Je tant reve de toi means "I have dreamed of you so much". This is a beautiful song about looking back on simpler times and not forgetting how strong we were then: "will that be us? No, no, no ,no, no...". Don't ever give up your dreams!

Cover art for Just The Wine lyrics by Heart

'Jai tant reve du toi' means I've dreamed of you often. This is a touching song about how life passes by, so fast, as you grow older. When given the chance "... Selling your soul to buy some times.....It ain't no deal at all.... ". Because as you get older your willingness to sell out who you are isn't worth it.
