Bon Jovi - Bitter Wine lyrics

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

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 lied
