Dinah Washington - Shutter Island (Music from the Motion Picture)

This Bitter Earth / On the Nature of Daylight

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears

Ooh, this bitter earth

And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I?
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold

Today you're young
Too soon, you're old

But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not
Oh, be so bitter after all

This bitter earth

Lord, this bitter earth

What good is love
Mm, that no one shares?
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I? (What good am I?)
Heaven only knows
