Bitter Wine Lyrics

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 didnt 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 you,nor i'd rather go blind
I thought i saw a 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
wasnt funny but you laughed at all my jokes
When i was choking on the words
to say you your fingers down my throat
The first night i said i love you you
told me to go to hell
You were giving me head on that creaky bed at the old
duval motel

Just like everything good love has to die
Ain't no
sympathy when it says goodbye


Your love was my salvation it could
always get me high
What was once holy water tastes like bitter
wine

Just like everything good love has to die
No one even cried we
were one of a kind

Love left 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 back the holy
water now all that's left is bitter wine
