Mary Hopkin Bitter Harvest song lyrics

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.
