Bitter Wine

I have tasted bitter wine
And I know what it feels like to be down
I have heard my best friends lie
And I can’t get my feet up off the ground
Seems I hear my prayer falling on empty air
Bitter wine, the taste of things that cannot be
People hang around my place
They’re a kind I’ve been finding everywhere
Now they’re smiling to my face
But I know that tomorrow they won’t care
All alone am I watching my dreams go by
Bitter wine the taste of things that cannot be
I go from town to town
No friends have I
A paid performing clown
Watch them laughing, look at me cry
Watch them laughing, look at me cry
I have tasted bitter wine
And I know what it feels like to be down
I have heard my best friends lie
And I can’t get my feet up off the ground
Seems I hear my prayer falling on empty air
Bitter wine the taste of things that cannot be
Bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine
Bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine, bitter wine
