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
