The sun's still shining but the sky is dark

(These are bitter days)

The clouds are approaching, and it's raining hard

(These are bitter days)

She said she would be there at seven sharp

(These are bitter days)

I waited til eleven then I trashed my heart

(These are bitter days)

Bitter days, endless grays

I found one million ways

To look for light in a darkened night

But you can't hold a candle when your hand's on fire

And the moon's laid us all to waste

They built up the shelter like a church of stone

(These are bitter days)

Then they banished the builders to the sea alone

(These are bitter days)

The eye in the sky saw my hopes and fears

(These are bitter days)

But my dearly beloved was away for years

(These are bitter days)

Bitter days, endless grays

I found one million ways

To look for a pearl in a darkened world

But you can't hold a candle when your hand's on fire

And ice is all you can taste
