Bitter Sunshine

Strawbs - Bitter Sunshine



Bitter sunshine sinking this way has no return

See the Redwings gliding

See the rivers burn

Reflections in the water

Memories of a dream

Night time shadows coming you'll see what I mean



Heat wave comes so suddenly

There's no time to hide

Bent and twisted tree trunks on the other side

Shrivelled water melons

Lie rotting in the sun

I'm just a poor man, please don't point that gun



I've been here about a year

No chance of getting home

Though may be I'll get sent back, set in solid stone

Then looking for a reason

There's none that I can see

I don't know who I am fighting they all look the same to me



Bitter sunshine sinking this way has no return

See the Redwings gliding

See the rivers burn

Reflections in the water

Memories of a dream

Night time shadows coming you'll see what I mean
