Bittersweet

Now all of the planes have landed And the soldiers are in their beds Smoke rises from their clothing And sweet dreams through their heads Truth faced leaves a strange taste When joy and sadness meet A country rain on a city street This life is bittersweet The boy with the bloated belly Hears today's trucks arrive He puts down his baby sister And makes his way outside Truth faced leaves a stragne taste When joy and sadness meet A country rain on a city street This life is bittersweet Everyone's a novelist And everyone can sing But no one talks when the TV's on... The lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled Dark clouds filled the sky A country rain on a city street This life is bittersweet
