Bitter Wine

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

[Verse 2]

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

When i was chaking 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 he head, on that creeky

Old bed at the ol'duvol motel

[Chorus 1]

Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine [x2]

[Verse 3]

I would drink of your river, it would always get me high

What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine

[Chorus 2]

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

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

I guess she lied

[Verse 4]

Just like everything, even good love has to die

Ain't no sympathy when it waves goodbye, no one even cried

We were one of a kind

I would drink of your river, it would always get me high

What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine

[Chorus 2]

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

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

I guess she lied
