Bitterblue (BBC Radio Session, 23rd March 1971) Songtext
von Cat Stevens

Oh, I gave my last chance to you
Don′t hand it back to me, Bitterblue
No, Bitterblue

'Cause I′ve done all one man can do
Don't pass me up, oh, Bitterblue
Ah, Bitterblue

'Cause I′ve been runnin′ a long time
On this travellin' ground
Wishin′ hard to be free of
Going round and round, yeah yeah
Yes I've been movin′ a long time
But only up and down

I gave my last hope to you
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue
My Bitterblue

Oh, I′ve done all one man can do
Please help me lose this, Bitterblue
My Bitterblue


'Cause I've been waitin′ a long time
Aeons been and gone, whoa whoa
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn, yeah yeah
Oh yes, I′ve been livin' a long time
Looking on and on

I′ve been runnin' a long time
Summer′s come and gone, whoah oh
Drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun, oh yeah
Yes I've been livin′ a long time
To be back beyond

I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue
Oh, my Bitterblue

I've done all one man can do
Don′t pass me up, oh, Bitterblue
My Bitterblue
Oh, oh my Bitterblue
Yeah, my Bitterblue
My Bitterblue
Oh, Bitterblue
Oh I gave my last chance to you
Don′t hand it back to me, Bitterblue
