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' only clothes
I never thought I'd lose you no I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future but the fortuneteller 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 of my jokes
When I was chokin' on words to say you stuck your fingers down my throat
The first night I said 'I love you', you told me to go to hell
You were givin' me hell on that crickey, old bed at the old Duvall Hotel
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
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 lastof Holy Water now all that's left is bitter wine
