Bitter Harvest - Mary Hopkin

Summertime don’t rate with me the way it used to do

I keep waitin' for a cloud to hide the sun

Who’ll give me the strength to see another season through

If you hate me after everythin' I’ve done?

Lost my taste for all the things that used to turn me on

Beats me how I make it through the day

What happened to the friends I thought that I could lean upon?

If they don’t call who needs them anyway?

We were so together, who’d thought that it could end?

Just bein' with you made my world go round

But if it’s really over, and my life has lost its way

It’s down to pickin' up the pieces of my heart

And hide them where they can’t be found

You can’t recapture somethin' that was really never there

But still the thought of you keeps runnin' though my mind

Though I’m travellin' I ain’t going anywhere

Don’t tell me that the world will keep

On turnin' when it’s leavin' me behind

Changes that I see around me only get me down

I’ve got nothing to contribute anyhow

Another summer over, another wrinkle on my brow

Looks like all the dreams I’ve planted yield a bitter harvest now

Looks like all the dreams I’ve planted yield a bitter harvest now, now

Hmm-mm, hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
