Lyrics

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 glow of a rose Tell me what good am I? Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knows Ooh, this, this bitter earth Well, I found out can be, be so, be so cold Today you're young and before you know it Too soon, you've grown old 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 While a voice, while this voice within me cries Someone, someone may answer my call And this, this bitter, this real cold earth Mmm, may not be so bitter after all, mmm
