Bitter-Sweet
1974
Well this is such
A sad affair
I’ve opened up my heart
Oh so many times
But now it’s closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bittersweet applause
But when the show’s in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I’m forgetting
Mein Lullaby, Liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes I’m quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste, both sweet and dry
These vintage years
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein, das ist nicht
Das Ende der Welt
Gestrandet in Leben und Kunst
Wie man wei
Noch viele sch nste
Wiedersehen
And now as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
