Robert Hunter - Life Is Hard lyrics

[Verse 1] The evening winds are still I've lost the way and will Can't tell you where they went I just know what they meant I'm always on my guard Admitting life is hard Without you near me [Verse 2] The friend you used to be So near and dear to me You slipped so far away Where did we go a-stray I pa** the old schoolyard Admitting life is hard Without you near me [Verse 3] Ever since the day The day you went away I felt that emptiness so wide I don't know what's wrong or right I just know I need strength to fight Strength to fight that world outside [Verse 4] Since we've been out of touch I haven't felt that much From day to barren day My heart stays locked away I walk the boulevard Admitting life is hard Without you near me [Verse 5] The sun is sinking low I guess it's time to go I feel a chilly breeze In place of memories My dreams are locked and barred Admitting life is hard Without you near me
