Bitter Boy [Live] lyrics

There was a boy, a bitter boy

Who's golden heart I saw gleaming

I thought I'd win the heart within

But now I know that I was dreaming

And I will rise, and I will sing

Until I know I can't conceal it

Because I hold the saddest song

And I wish to God I cannot feel it

And then the boy, the bitter boy

He came to me for rest and healing

He reached in his chest, deep in his breast

Held out his heart for me, still gleaming

And I will rise, and I will sing

Until I know I can't conceal it

Because I hold the saddest song

And I wish to God I cannot feel it

And then the boy, me and the boy

We walked for miles through stormy weather

And hand in hand we roamed the land

And held the gleaming heart together

And I will rise, and I will sing

Until I know I can't conceal it

Because I hold the saddest song

And I wish to God I cannot feel it

And then the boy, the bitter boy

He came to take the gleaming treasure

He reached in my chest, deep in my breast

And took his heart away forever

And I will rise, and I will sing

Until I know I can't conceal it

Because I hold the saddest song

And I wish to God I cannot feel it

And I will rise, and I will sing

Until the day I can't conceal it

And then I'll sing the saddest song

And I wish to God you cannot hear it
