Lyrics

Bittersweetheart

If I could only see straight

I wouldn't be lonley these days

I'd drag my body out of this place

And every sunday I sleep

And pray that my soul will keep

For i'll sit in the river and let the water creep

Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

You've been god to me

Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

You've been good to me

Well i've travelled around the earth

And still I wonder if i'm the first

Human being who questions his worth

And every word that you speak

Makes my heart sing when it's weak

For often this outlook on life can be bleak

Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

You've been god to me

Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

You've been good to me

Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart

You've been god to me
