Oh, I gave my last dance to you.
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue.
No, Bitterblue.

'Cause I've done all one man can do.
Don't pass me up, oh, Bitterblue.
Ah, Bitterblue.

'Cause I've been runnin' a long time
On this travellin' ground
Wishin' hard to be free
Of going round and round.
Yeah, yeah I've been movin' a long time,
But only up and down.

I gave my last hope to you.
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue.
My Bitterblue.

Oh, I've done all one man can do.
Please help me lose this, Bitterblue.
My Bitterblue.

Cause I've been waitin' a long time.
Eons been and gone.
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn.
Yeah, yeah, yes I've been livin' a long time
Looking on and on.

I've been runnin' a long time.
Summers come and gone.
Whoa, oh, drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun.
Oh, yes, yes I've been livin' a long time
To be back beyond.

I gave my last dance to you.
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue.
Oh, my Bitterblue.

I've done all one man can do.
Don't pass me up, oh, Bitterblue.
My Bitterblue.
Oh, oh my Bitterblue.
Yeah, my Bitterblue.
My Bitterblue.
Oh, Bitterblue.

I gave my last dance to you.
Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue.
