Belle Of The Boulevard
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down in a local bar, out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar is saving you from sinking
It's a long way down, it's a long way
Back like you never broke, you tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg and thinks he's getting close
For now you let him, just this once, just for now
And just like that it's over
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
Keep it all in inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard
And all your silver rings, and all your silken things
That song you softly sing is keeping you from breaking
It's a long way down, it's a long way
Back here you never lost
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Just this once, just for now
And just like that, it's over
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
Keep it all in inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard
Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on
Down in a local bar, out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar is saving you
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
Let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all in inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard
