Bittersweet
Harmony of Joy and Sorrow: Bittersweet Moments in Life
Lyrics
Now all of the planes have landed
Arrival of all planes
And the soldiers are in their beds
Soldiers are resting in beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
Smoke rises from soldiers' clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads
Soldiers experience sweet dreams
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
Truth creates a peculiar taste
When joy and sadness meet
Meeting of joy and sadness
A country rain on a city street
Country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Life is bittersweet
The boy with the bloated belly
Emphasis on a malnourished child
Hears today's trucks arrive
Child hears trucks arriving today
He puts down his baby sister
Child puts down baby sister
And makes his way outside
Child goes outside
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
Truth creates an unusual taste
When joy and sadness meet
Meeting of joy and sadness
A country rain on a city street
Country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Life is bittersweet
Everyone's a novelist
Everyone is a novelist
And everyone can sing
Everyone can sing
But no one talks when the TV's on
Silence during TV time
Sweet dreams fill their heads
Sweet dreams occupy thoughts
The lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled
Lightning, thunder, and dark clouds
And dark clouds filled the sky
Atmospheric disturbances
A country rain on a city street
Country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Life is bittersweet
