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 you, no - I'd rather go blind I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied I guess she lied
You're 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 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
Just like everything, even good love has to die Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye
You're love was my salvation, it could always get me high What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine Oh, yeah
Just like everything, good love has to die Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye No, won't even cry we're one of a kind one of a kind, hey yeah
Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
You're love was my salvation, it could always get me high You take the back holy water, now all thats left is bitter wine
