We met some timeago, 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
Once you were my inspiration, but, that river`s run dry
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 showed me 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 cheeky,
Old bed at the Ol`Duvol Motel
Once you were my inspiration, but, that river`s run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
Once you were my inspiration, but, that river`s run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
I would drink of your river, it would always get me high
What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine
I never thought I`d lose ya, no, I`d rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
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
I never thought I`d lose ya, no, I`d rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
