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

The night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
You were giving the head, on that creaky old bed at the Ol'Duvol Motel

Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry
What was once holy water now has turned to 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 stucked your finger down my throat
But you left without a letter, you left without a lie, left me with a memory, that's no way to say
goodbye

Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry
What was once holy water now has turned to 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 loose ya, no - I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied

Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry
What was once holy water now has turned to bitter wine
