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



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 stuck your fingers 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 creaky old bed at the Old Duval 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

Oh yeah



Just like everything 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, yeah



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 the bath of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
