Crosby, Still, Nash Young – Bittersweet lyrics

words and music David Crosby
© 1975 Staysail Music (BMI)

On the one side, truth towers like a cliff
On the other side, love dangles by a thread
And here is a climber who cannot find his eyes
And a falling woman wishing she was dead
Both side, why is it always bittersweet?
And the broken cloudy days
when I need the sun's heat
I need the heat, oh both ways
Why is it always bittersweet
And the broken cloudy days
When I need the sun's heat
Oh, I need the heat
Why, why is it bittersweet?
And the broken cloudy days
Is when I need the sun's heat
I need the heat
