We met some time ago, when we were almost young
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
I didnŽt have much money, so I stole you a rose
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes
Chorus:
Once you were my inspiration, but, that riverŽs run dry
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
I know I wasnŽt 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 creeky, old bed at the Ol'Duvol Motel
Chorus
Chorus
Chorus:
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 IŽd lose ya, no - IŽd 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
AinŽt no sympathy when it waves goodbye, no one ever cried
We were one of a kind
Chorus
I never thought IŽd lose ya, no - IŽd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
