Lyrics

Long black skirts and painted eyes
Sally used to mesmerize
With sultry music from a bow
And photographs through chains of smoke
Traded in for army green and magazines
On how to set the room for tea
Sympathy, china patterns, color schemes
And when she looks at me
Does she see the life left behind?
And do these city streets
Bring memories, shadows of a girl?
Is it bittersweet, the taste of comfort?
So familiar, lonely days
Is it raining in your coffee?
Did you think it would be bittersweet?
Piano bars and chasing dreams
My musical insanities
The sweat and ink of promises
The full moon over Brooklyn Bridge
My life has an uncommon thread
There's not enough to pay the rent
And sometimes I get scared to death
Of failure or complete success
And when I look at her
I see the life I did not choose
A simple day-to-day
A safer place, shadows of a dream
Is it bittersweet, the taste of struggle?
Crying salt and sugar tears
Finding sunlight in my darkness
Didn't think it could be bittersweet
Bittersweet
Oh, is there hell to pay for something so heavenly?
Yes, it's bittersweet, the taste of living
A semi-perfect harmony
Compromising and forgiving
Life can be pleasingly bittersweet
Life can be pleasingly bittersweet
Oh, oh
