Lord ain't it bittersweet This place we call our home Ain't it like the cosmos To light up the magnolias at dawn Ain't that the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes Baby don't worry, you're a grown man Baby don't worry, I'm a grown woman But I feel like a child away from home Lord ain't it bittersweet These constant reminders of death Ain't it like the cosmos To play every card in the deck Ain't that the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes Baby don't worry, we've got our love Baby don't worry, we've got our love And no one can take that from us No one can take that from us No, no one can take that from us
