Life Is Hard

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



The friend you used to be



So near and dear to me



You slipped so far away



Where did we go astray?



I passed the old schoolyard



Admitting life is hard



Without you near me



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



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



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



Without you near me
