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
