Desperate Times

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.

When you find yourself in a field of dreams

But you're all played out and you can't believe

When you're all alone in the darkest night

And the wind blows hard, you don't want to fight

So you ask yourself, now you've come this far

'cause you can't look back, don't know where you are

But you carry on in this world of pain

Knowing very well it's a tearful game

The beginning to the end

What we borrow, what we lend

We contemplate the past

We all remember well

It's disappearing fast

But only time will tell

Ask yourself anyway

You can't lose, come what may

Now desperate times have come

They fall on everyone

When you've lost your way in the pouring rain

And you can't see how you'll get back again

When there's no one there, when you switch the light

So you settle down to the longest night

Now the day goes by but the time goes slow

And this emptiness, it won't let you go

But you can't give up when the cold wind blows

'cause it's not in vain, everyone knows

You just keep waiting, nowhere to hide

Now how does it feel here tonight?
