Oh, I gave my last dance to you 
 Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue 
 No, Bitterblue 
    'Cause I've done all one man can do 
 Don't pass me up, oh, Bitterblue 
 Ah, Bitterblue   
 'Cause I've been runnin' a long time 
 On this travellin' ground 
 Wishin' hard to be free 
 Of going round and round 
 Yeah, yeah I've been movin' a long time 
 But only up and down   
 I gave my last hope to you 
 Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue 
 My Bitterblue   
 Oh, I've done all one man can do 
 Please help me lose this, Bitterblue 
 My Bitterblue   
 Cause I've been waitin' a long time 
 Eons been and gone 
 Looking at the horizon 
 For my light to dawn 
 Yeah, yeah, yes I've been livin' a long time 
 Looking on and on   
 I've been runnin' a long time 
 Summers come and gone 
 Whoa, oh, drifting under the dream clouds 
 Past the broken sun 
 Oh, yes, yes I've been livin' a long time 
 To be back beyond   
 I gave my last dance to you 
 Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue 
 Oh, my Bitterblue   
 I've done all one man can do 
 Don't pass me up, oh, Bitterblue 
 My Bitterblue 
 Oh, oh my Bitterblue 
 Yeah, my Bitterblue 
 My Bitterblue 
 Oh, Bitterblue   
 I gave my last dance to you 
 Don't hand it back to me, Bitterblue
