This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears?
What good is love, love?
That no one sharesAnd if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I?
Heaven only knowsOoh, this bitter earth
Well, can be so cold
On this day you're young
Too soon you're oldBut while a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, ooh
May not be so bitter after allThis bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young, young
Too soon, too oldI said, this bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young, so young
Before you know it, you're growing oldWhile a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, ooh
May not be so bitter, so bitter after allThis bitter earth
