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 clothe
I never thought I`d lose ya, no,
I`d rather go blind
I thought I saw the 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 wasn`t funny,
but you laughed at all my jokes
When I was choking on the words to say,
You stucked your fingers down my throat
The first night I said I loved you,
you told me to go to hell
You were giving me hell, on that creaky,
Old bed at the Ol`Duvol Motel
Just like everything, even 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, even good love has to die
Ain`t no sympathy when it says goodbye
No one even cried
We were one of a kind
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 thats left is bitter wine
