Stephan Eicher - Life Is Bitter 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.
