words and music David Crosby

© 1975 Staysail Music (BMI)





On the one side, truth towers like a cliff

On the other side, love dangles by a thread

And here is a climber who cannot find his eyes

And a falling woman wishing she was dead

Both side, why is it always bittersweet?

And the broken cloudy days

when I need the sunÅ’s heat

I need the heat, oh both ways

Why is it always bittersweet

And the broken cloudy days

When I need the sunÅ’s heat

Oh, I need the heat

Why, why is it bittersweet?

And the broken cloudy days

Is when I need the sunÅ’s heat

I need the heat
