Oh, bitter wine
From the street you look up to a window where the shades are partly drawn
Just last night you told her that you loved her and you held her in your arms until the dawn
Now you're walking quickly to the corner, catch a ride and you'll be gone
She was such a comfort to you when the times were hard and you were living day by day
Sometimes, in the lamplight she would fight you like a cat and then you'd love the night away
Yesterday you sat in the same room without a single word to say
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Oh, bitter wine
Oh, bitter wine
Taste it in full, bitter wine
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
Love tonight, tomorrow might be lonely
(repeat to fade)
