But the morning brings no consolation
Still my life is hard here in my back yard
After today things will never be the same
Sun is rising, sky is yawning
With your breath draw me in
The new day brings no celebration
No celebration
So hold me close like an angel
How long, how long
Here in my back yard
None of us will reach the end
I'm sorry for you, my dear
We are surrounded, surrounded by eternity
And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
Guess we traded it for sanity
We reach out but no love abounds us
And I lie here suffering, wondering
And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
And I lie here suffering, wondering
And my life passes by
Hear my voice, soft but clear
How long, how long
In the whiskey hours, I sit mourning
Dreams die young in this world of violence
We are only the beginning here
Sun is rising, sky is yawning
As my life passes by
But with it comes no real solution
Feel me swim through your bloodstream
How long, how long
And my life passes by
In a world of darkness
In a sea of silence, I lay wondering
And I lie awake and I stare at the sky
And I lie here suffering, wondering
Just to be betrayed by revolution, revolution
Still my life is hard here in my back yard
Reminds me life is hard
