Vinegar Days

Vinegar Days
Tony Edelblute 2023

[horn break]

CHORUS

These vinegar days, meant to be sweet and aged

Have turned bitter and acidic and acquired a funky taste

These vinegar days, lord, not today

I’m bitter and sarcastic and I’m questionably aged

VERSE 1

I took my love of caring

To my heart, this heart, I said, darling,

We’re here to help but still they’re dying

We’re weary but we won’t look away

CHORUS

VERSE 2

All my heroics, maybe sometimes they help

I know all the healing doesn’t happen by itself

Still there’s so much we don’t know about ourselves

And so many prices have been paid

CHORUS
