Brother Cane - Hard Act to Follow (LP version) lyrics

Pickin' up the pieces Sweepin' off the dust I thought it would be better But it's never been so rough Flippin' through old numbers Dependin' on the past It helps to have some company But it seems to never last Then it comes The loneliness within Like a stone Crushin' me again You're a hard act to follow I can't find nobody, baby quite like you You're a hard act to follow Yeah yeah (solo fill) Yesterdays were easy Gentle on my mind I'd run to you for shelter from the storm And leave the world behind The way you cleared my senses The way you soothed my soul If only I had faith in you My tears would never flow Now you're gone My hope is all in vain I was wrong I couldn't make you stay You're a hard act to follow There ain't anything, baby quite like you You're a hard act follow Yeah Yeah Everything I done I can't change One to many crosses to bear Who's to blame? Oh just to have you back today (solo) Oh Then it comes The loneliness within I was wrong It's crushin' me again You're a hard act to follow I can't find nobody quite like you You're a hard act to follow yeah You're a hard act to follow There ain't anyone like you You're a hard act to follow yeah There ain't anything like you I can't find nobody quite like you
