This Bitter Earth

[Verse]

This bitter, bitter earth

What fruit it bears

What good is love

That no one wants to share

And if my life, my life is like the dust

That haunts the glows of the rose

Tell me what good am I

Heaven, Heaven, Heaven, Heaven only knows

Ooh, ooh, this, this bitter earth

Well, I found out it can be, be so, be so cold

Today, you're young

And before you know it

Too soon you've grown old

[Bridge]

But while a voice within me cries

Someone, someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

This bitter, bitter earth

May not, may not be so bitter after all

[Outro]

While a voice within me cries

While this voice within me cries

Someone, someone may answer my call

And this, this bitter earth

This real cold earth

Mmm, may not be so bitter after all, mmm
