about

Bittersweet Road
(Music & Words by John DeLore & Matthew Kubacki)

lyrics

From where I stand on Bittersweet Road, I see the sun set behind the courthouse
All my red letter days they are numbered now.

There’s a cool dark tavern on a corner where I often go to hide.
Where a hard workin’ man can still afford a little peace of mind.

Bittersweet...roses and rain in the evening.
Bittersweet...no worries for what will come after.
Bittersweet...the laughter of ghosts in the alleyway.
They sing bittersweet...forever on Bittersweet Road.

From where I stand the blessed and the damned,
They are dancing cheek to cheek and hand to hand.
Young women rush to meet a storm out in the street
Their features to the sky
I can hear their splashing feet

Bittersweet...roses and rain in the evening.
Bittersweet...no worries for what will come after.
Bittersweet...the laughter of ghosts in the alleyway.
They sing bittersweet...forever on Bittersweet Road.
