This Bitter Earth Songtext
von Irma Thomas

This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares?
And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I?
Heaven only knows


This bitter earth
It can be so cold
Today you′re young
Too soon you're old
But while the voice within me cries
I′m sure someone may answer my call
This bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all

This bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon, too soon you're old
But while the voice within me cries
I′m sure someone will answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all
