Stephan Eicher Life Is Bitter song lyrics

When I grew up, I lived by the trains

Looking at them, day by day

Hoping to get on, get on my way

Of never coming back and I new then

One day I will follow this track

Life is bitter, a kiss could be so sweet

I've got a tattoo inside my eyes for a girl I'll never meet

I walked that long, long road

For the longing, for just one dream

Sold my heart and sold my nice pair pair of boots

Lost my papers and lost my self, my self respect

To find out there are so many, losing the same

Life is bitter, a kiss could be so sweet

I've got a tattoo inside my eyes for a girl I'll never meet

Turned four times and was twenty-two

Drank a bottle of red, just like rain

Found a sweetheart to help me out of blue

While here ex repainted my face with a bottleneck

Life is bitter, a kiss could be so sweet

I've got a tattoo inside my eyes for a girl I'll never meet.
