Lyrics
This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young
But too soon, you're old
But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all
Writer(s): Clyde Otis
