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 son 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
