lyrics

BITTERSWEET WALTZ

IT’S RAINING OUT THERE AND IT’S JUST BEGUN.
A CONCLUSIVE VOICE RELATES THE RUN.
I CARRY IN THE JACKET A SMALL COLORED PORTRAIT.
AND I’M GOING AWAY OF YOU AGAIN.

WELL, I POUR YOUR NAME IN A PAPER GLASS.
I WOULD LIKE TO SMOKE A CIGARETTE, MAN.
THE MOUNTAINS AROUND ME, THEY SEEM TO SWALLOW ME.
AND I’M GOING AWAY OF YOU AGAIN.

I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU MORE KISSES.
I WISH I COULD HOLD YOU STRONGER.
I WISH IT WOULD BE EASIER, BABE.
BUT I’M GOING AWAY OF YOU,
GOING AWAY.
GOING AWAY OF YOU AGAIN.

SOON WILL BE PREPARED THE HOUSE WHERE WE WILL LIVE IN.
TOGETHER, FOREVER, AS I’VE ALWAYS DREAMED.
WILL YOU COME TO DANCE WITH ME THIS BITTERSWEET WALTZ?
THOUGH I’M GOING AWAY OF YOU,
GOING AWAY.
GOING AWAY OF YOU AGAIN.
