Songtext Hard life Bonnie Prince Billy

Hard life

And it's a hard life
For a man with no wife
Baby, it's a hard life
God makes you live

But without it,
Don't doubt it
You don't even have
Your tears to give

I wake up and I'm fine
With my dreamings still on my mind
But it doesn't take long, you see
For the demons to come and visit me
And i've got my problems
Sometimes love doesn't solve them
And i end each day in a song

And it's a hard life
For a man with no wife
Lord, it's a hard life
God makes you live

But without it,
Baby don't doubt it
You don't even have
Your tears to give

I know i'm a hard man
To live with sometimes
Maybe it ain't in me
To make you a happy wife of mine

And maybe you'll kill me
Honey i don't blame you
If i were in your place,
Maybe that's what i would do

But i ain't breathing
Let me breath
Let me go
Let me leave
I don't know
But i might lose
I might bum
I hate to blow a fuse

So let me go,
Lay down
On my own
Let me drown
Let me go
Go where you don't know
