Bitter Wine

Intro: (2x) 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 Pre-Chorus 1: I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied Chorus 1: 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 shoved 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 creaky, old bed at the Ol' Duvol Motel Pre-Chorus 2: Just like everything ,even good love has to die Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye **Chorus 1 **Solo: **Pre-Chorus 2 No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind Chorus 2: Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine Chorus 3: Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high You take the "bag" of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine Ending:
