Lyrics Bitter Boy - Kate Rusby

Bitter Boy

There was a boy, a bitter boy
Who’s golden heart I saw gleaming
I thought I’d win the heart within
But now I know that I was dreaming
But I will rise, and I will sing
Until the day I can’t conceal it
Because I hold the saddest song
And wish to God I cannot feel it
Then the boy, the bitter boy
He came to me for rest and healing
He reached in his chest, deep in his breast
Held out the heart for me still gleaming
Then the boy, me and the boy
We walked for miles through stormy weather
Hand in hand, we roamed the land
And held the gleaming heart together
Then the boy, the bitter boy
He came to take the gleaming treasure
He reached in my chest, deep in my breast
And took the gleaming heart forever
