Bitter-sweet

Well, this is such a sad affair
I've opened up my heart 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 awhile
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 Und das spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele 'schoum'....wiedersehen

And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile
As if to compensate
Then you break down and cry
