When It Don't Come Easy
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.
Red lights flashing down the highway
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonight
Everywhere the water's getting rough
Best intentions may not be enough
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonight
But if you break down
I'd drive out and find you
And if you forget my love
I'd try to remind you
Oh and stay by you
When it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
I don't know nothing 'cept change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home
You're out here walking down the highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I'd drive out and find you
And if you forget my love
I'd try to remind you
Oh and stay by you
When it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love I've lost
And the love that I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Some love that we were looking for
Red lights flashing down the highway
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonight
