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 never thought I'd love you, no - I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
I guess she lied
