about
This song began as an idea during a rehearsal. Susanne took the chords, added a bridge, wrote the lyrics and the melody lines. "Bittersweet Goodbye" has been in our live set for several years now. So I'm glad to see it finally released here.
lyrics
I have travelled far and wide
Seen many places, been to many sites
Now I have a home to leave
I have won a heart to keep
I know you'll miss me
I will miss you, too
But if you love me you will let me go
You can trust me my heart belongs to you
But my wings need motion, too
Back onto the road, though leaving will hurt me
Out into the open where free winds will sing to me
I know there are tears in my eyes of farewell
Tears of joy blur my sight as I head on
I can't wait to go
I make you a promise I will return one day
Your picture in my heart will guide me on my way
After the freedom and the lands I have roamed
I would bring the width and the horizon back home
Back onto the road, though leaving will hurt me
Out into the open where free winds will sing to me
I know there are tears in my eyes of farewell
Tears of joy blur my sight as I head on
I can't wait to go
I don't want to leave
I don't want to leave
