With bitterness and joy
It has now spread itself all over inside meall the way to the brain and down to my kneesMy time comes closer with each day it lets me see- with each night the pain keeps me from sleep
Life has given me much - maybe taken morebut those good times were always worth waiting forWhen it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relievedwith bitterness and joy
Pleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell - my memoriesWhat a long and strange trip this has been for meWhat a short and strange life this has been
It has given me much - maybe taken morebut those good times were always worth waiting forWhen it's time to take leave of this worldI will leave with bitterness and joy
