Bitter/Sweet

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Motel in the middle Of a field full of oil wells With a swimming pool blue as the sky Blacktop is smokin' The earth's broken open We're so far away from goodbye [Chorus 1] But goodbye is hummin' Out on the horizon Past all the shimmerin' heat We know it's comin' There's no use in cryin' I might get bitter but you'll always be sweet [Verse 2] Light falls on white walls In ladders and we're all Wrapped up in a up-up-and-away Trusty old dusk He approaches on crutches And runs off what's left of the day [Chorus 2] Goodbye is spoken There's no more horizon The sirens all sing on the street The bottle is broken The red flames are risin' I might get bitter but you'll always be sweet [Bridge] I'll fly over you and I'll look down And I'll wonder who's keeping you warm tonight Won't get over you but I'll go on and on Past the horizon 'til I'm out of sight [Verse 3] Motel in the middle Of a field full of oil wells With a swimming pool blue as I'll be At the end of the winter When there's ice at the center Of the young man that used to be me [Chorus 3] Goodbyes and goodnights And good lucks and hold tights Shattered like glass 'round my feet Someday I might Get bitter, it's alright But you will always be sweet You, you will always be sweet You, you will always be sweet
