Paroles de Bitter-Sweet

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
Bitter-sweet 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 an leben und kunst
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile -
As if to compensate -
Then you break down and cry
