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

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 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

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 love 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 love ya, no - I´d rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lies
