This Bitter Earth / On The Nature Of Daylight

This bitter earth

Well, what the fruit it bears

Ooooh

This bitter earth

And if my life

Is like the dust

Oooh that hides

The glow of a rose

What good am I?

Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth

Yes can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon, you're old

But while a voice

Within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth, oooh

May not, oh, be so bitter after all

This bitter earth

Lord, this bitter earth

What good is love

Mmmm, that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Oooh that hides, the glow of a rose

What good am I

What good am I

Heaven only knows
