Difficult Year
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.
It's been a difficult year
It's like time gone wasted
It's just been a difficult year
And I wish we'd been together to face it
Some days it seems okay
Got some good friends around me
But I'm still scared of losing my head
I guess there's just something selfish about me
A dozen months go by as you wait for a sign
For the sky to boil above a sea of wine
For some road to grow before your eyes
For some act of God to set you right
I've had a little bad luck
Well, it's mostly my own making
I thought I had it all sewn up
But I was so badly mistaken
A dozen months go by, used to wait for a sign
For the sky to boil above a sea of wine
For some road to grow before your eyes
For some guiding star to shine her light
Is it too late to find someone to
Shield you when your nerves are raw?
Just say and sing it like you mean it
I need you now and forevermore
Yeah, is it too late to find someone to
Shield you when your nerves are raw?
Just say and scream it like you mean it
I need you now and forevermore
Yeah, I need you now and forevermore
It's been a difficult year
I just wish we'd been together to face it
