Bittersweetheart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
if i could only see straight
i wouldn't be lonley these days
i'd drag my body out of this place
and every sunday i sleep
and pray that my soul will keep
for i'll sit in the river and let the water creep
bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
you've been good to me
bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
you've been good to me
well i've travelled around the earth
and still i wonder if i'm the first
human being who questions his worth
and every word that you speak
makes my heart sing when it's weak
for often this outlook on life can be bleak
bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
you've been good to me
bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
you've been good to me
bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
you've been good to me
