In the light western wind She sat outside wondering How life had brought another case of bitter blue She ran her fingers through her hair Tinged with madness, quiet despair For love had gone and in its place came bitter blue Pick me up Wash me clean Take this bitter heart Fill me up with something sweet Will someone help me please? Hold me close Give me peace Take this bitter life Fill me up with something sweet Will someone help me please? In the night where our fears meet Her demons walked in off the street They sat up all night reciting tales of bitter blue
By daybreak her troubled soul Was pacing nervously in her own home Trying to calm a raging sense of bitter blue Pick me up Wash me clean Take this bitter heart Fill me up with something sweet Will someone help me please? Hold me close Give me peace Take this bitter life Fill me up with something sweet Will someone help me please? Suddenly all the birds are singing Your heart is a bell Your cries are ringing Into this dawn of aching voices Let nature harvest all your losses
