Bittersweet Songtext
von Chris Smither

Hey now, you sweet old candy man
You do the best you can
And watch it all slide through
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
No one left to tell us why
We kissed the girls and made ′em cry


Hang on, no time to learn it now
We'll still be learning how
When we all go down
We never even knew what made the world go ′round
If you catch it, let me know
If it hollers, let it go

Showdown, it's time to cut and deal
The stakes were never real
Why do we love to play?
Everything we win just seems to fade away
The things we lose keep us in tow
But if it hurts, it doesn't show


Hey now, you sweet old candy man
You do the best you can
And watch it all slide through
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
