Lyrics
BITTERSWEET
Like a fish out of water. Like a star on a clear cool night. Like a smile
without a heart. Like your daddy saying it will be alright.
Like a song without feeling. Like a rose's bouquet. Like a town without a tavern on a hot and dusty day.
So good I couldn't stand it. So hard I had to stay.
I swear to God so help me. I gotta keep you close, and let you go
So I can make it through the day oh times with you, were
Bittersweet.
Like the rain in the desert. Like the sun on a winter's day.
Like a guitar with no pickin. Like the sea around the bay.
Like cognac with chocolate. Like a 440 hemy on a long straight road.
Like a red dress with nowhere to go.
Chorus
Like a babe without her mother. Like a rainbow gone unseen.
Like a drumbeat without dancing. Like the feel of velveteen.
Like a country divided. Like birds on a sunset sky.
Like a hot bath on a cold night. Like the train's lonesome cry.
Chorus
