| Bitter garden, bitter leaf
|
| Bitter earth, bitter sea
|
| Nothing here is sacred, dear, all things wild
|
| You’re gone now for so long, you grown a child
|
| And when you were young
|
| You used to plea
|
| And when you were young
|
| You used to plea to make me believe
|
| Nothing sacred, all things wild
|
| Nothing sacred, all things wild
|
| Bitter water, bitter sea
|
| Bitter dirt, bitter tea
|
| Everything we do is a mess
|
| But oh, honey, may this mess be blessed
|
| And when we were young
|
| We knew everything
|
| And when we were young
|
| We claimed to sing and kick and scream
|
| All things sacred, nothing wild
|
| All things sacred, nothing wild
|
| Bitter blue, bitter green
|
| Bitter you, bitter me
|
| Sorry for poisoning you with my song
|
| I’m sorry now but I won’t be sorry long
|
| And when you were young
|
| Dumb and mean
|
| What did you mean when you’d scream
|
| Nothing sacred, all things wild
|
| Nothing sacred, all things wild |
