Bitter Wine

We met some time ago, when we were almost young

It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?

I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose

You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes

I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind

I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes

When I was choking on the words to say,

You shoved your finger down my throat

The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell

You were giving me head, on that creeky, old bed at the Ol'Duvol Motel

Just like everything ,even good love has to die

Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye

No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind

Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

You take the bag of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
