Bonnie Prince Billy - Hard Life Lyrics

Artist: Bonnie Prince Billy

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Oldham Joseph Will

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 an [unverified]
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 [unverified]
I might [unverified] to blow a fuse [unverified]

So let me go, lay down on my own
Let me drown, let me go
Go where you don't go [unverified]
