Michael Mcdonald - Bad Times lyrics

By michael mcdonald I met a man standing on the street today Through his eyes, the world looked so grim As if we all don't know just what it's like When the rain falls down and the lightning strikes But then girl, i've been runnin' most of my life And i've been around long enough to learn That one man's blue sky is another man's rain And no matter what is in it for me, i only know for him Chorus: These are bad times These are real bad times These are sad times These are bad times I know we each bear the brunt of our lies But not until the spirit sinks so low Does a man start to feel all alone And when he turns his back on trust Then they've only just begun Chorus: Oh, i can see there ain't much good left to save If all we have, we let time erase But i can still make the blues fade away Till all i see is your sweet face
