In the light western wind
She sat outside wondering
How life had brought another case of bitter blue
She ran her fingers through her hair
Tinged with madness, quiet despair
For love had gone and in its place came bitter blue

Pick me up
Wash me clean
Take this bitter heart
Fill me up with something sweet
Will someone help me please?

Hold me close
Give me peace
Take this bitter life
Fill me up with something sweet
Will someone help me please?

In the night where our fears meet
Her demons walked in off the street
They sat up all night reciting tales of bitter blue
By daybreak her troubled soul
Was pacing nervously in her own home
Trying to calm a raging sense of bitter blue

Pick me up
Wash me clean
Take this bitter heart
Fill me up with something sweet
Will someone help me please?

Hold me close
Give me peace
Take this bitter life
Fill me up with something sweet
Will someone help me please?

Suddenly all the birds are singing
Your heart is a bell
Your cries are ringing
Into this dawn of aching voices
Let nature harvest all your losses
