Description
This is the third song in the "Woman In a Bar" trilogy. The other two songs are Gin & Tonic and Whiskey Neat, Water Back"".
All three songs were written by enicholsIC and UncletupeloFan, so they are the ones who deserve the bulk of the praise. I was brought on by them as a singer, and I'm grateful for the opportunity, as I think all three songs are something of which to be proud.

Lyrics
The deadbolt turns behind me
Waiting on a taxi to take me home
The driver knows just where to find me
And I never felt more alone
Takes about an hour for me to get here
But it never seems that long
Cause I can see you through your window
And you leave the light on til I’m gone
Love is a desert and my lips are dry
The noonday sun is burning red
But in the shadow of a bottle, baby
That’s where I lay my head.
Thousand times I picked up the phone
To see if you remember my name
Anger’s been the one thing that I own
Other than a stool on 10th and Main
I see you put that pot of coffee on
I know you drink Earl Gray
Rub my shoulders till the chill is gone
Tell me it’s gonna be okay
Yeah, love is a desert to this drifting crow
Who used to be your daughter
If I grab the hem of your coat and never let go
Will you turn the wine back into water?
Maybe tonight I’m gonna cross the street
I wonder if you would be shocked
You’ve never risen from your seat
But I bet that door’s unlocked
A long walk across your wet grass
Tonight I’ll try to pay the price
Never found it in the bottom of a glass
I guess it’s time to melt the ice.
Yeah, love is a desert to this drifting crow
Who used to be your daughter
If I grab the hem of your coat and never let go
Will you turn the wine back into water?
Will you turn the wine back into water?

But, wow, is this depressing. The deliberate pace and sparse arrangement fit this well.
How about a happy pub song? :)
