With Bitterness and Joy Lyrics

It has now spread itself all over inside me
all the way to the brain and down to my knees
My time comes closer with each day it lets me see
- with each night the pain keeps me from sleepLife has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved
with bitterness and joyPleasure and pain; Heaven and Hell - my memories
What a long and strange trip this has been for me
What a short and strange life this has beenIt has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time to take leave of this world
I will leave with bitterness and joyWhat a long and strange trip this has been for me
What a short and strange life this has beenIt has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time for goodbyes I will leave grieving and yet so relieved
with bitterness and joyLife has given me much - maybe taken more
but those good times were always worth waiting for
When it's time to take leave of this world

I will leave with bitterness and joy
