Bitter Wine

Bitter Wine
Lyrics

Sour grapes make bitter wine
Sadness knows when lovers part
Broken hearts will mend in time

(rift)

I wear loneliness like a chain
Around a soul as cold as stone
It eats away at me in the rain

(Chorus)
Only sour grapes make that wine
And broken hearts mend in time

Fragments of memories fracture
As your face fades into the mist
Like an old time yellowed picture

(rift)

There once was love and attraction
But they escaped along the way
Destroying all that was our passion

(chorus)
Sadness knows when lovers part
Only sadness knows a lover's heart

I'll run away like everyone else does
Going on and on til' darkness comes
And again I'll remember you because

(chorus/rift)
Only sour grapes make bitter wine
And broken hearts mend in time

(chorus/rift)
Those broken, wounded hearts
And bitter, bitter wine
