Hard Times

Coming out for the first time
Waiting for the stars to shine
The air is cool, the night is still
It’s another mile to that old sign hill
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Coming out where I belong
Before this, my whole life was wrong
Airplanes dot that ancient sky
And I’ve never felt more alive
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
And I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
I’m not afraid anymore
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you
Through all the hard times I will be with you

1945

Just 18 in the long hot spring of 1945
On the beach of Yugoslavia, I’m fighting for my life
I push back the greatest evil that the world had ever known
But the thought that keeps me up at night was how far I am from home
Writing letters by the moonlight
Drinking whiskey, with the radio on late at night
Dreaming of the time I return
On those American shores again
While I’m watching a sky full of bullets and fear
Wondering how many among us would be anywhere but here
I send pictures home to the girl I love never expecting a reply
I call her name late at night with tears in my eyes
And someday when I’m old and grey I’ll see those pictures again
How they’ll remind me of the memories, the enemies and friends
The tragedies of history, kept forever in time
And someday my wife’s name will be the last thing left in my mind
I’ll step out into the moonlight
Get in my car, go for a drive somewhere late at night
Dreaming of the time I returned
To these American shores again
But now I’m watching a sky full of bullets and fear
Wondering how many among us would be anywhere but here
I send pictures home to the girl I love not expecting a reply
I call her name late at night with tears in my eyes
Writing letters by the moonlight
Drinking whiskey, with the radio on late at night
Dreaming of the time I return
On those American shores again
While I’m watching a sky full of bullets and fear
Wondering how many among us would be anywhere but here
I send pictures home to the girl I love not expecting a reply
I call her name late at night with tears in my eyes

English Moonlight

Late at night
When this mountain town is sleeping
I send you a good morning text to the future, cross the sea
And every time
When the morning sun is rising
I open up my window and you’re the first sent back to me
I wanna dance with you
In the misty English moonlight
I wanna drive with you
Cross the sunny skies of blue
And I can’t wait till the day
When I’m finally by your side
But ‘till then, I’ll always be dreaming of you
When I cry
And my mind it can’t stop racing
And I feel like I can’t go on living every day like this
I close my eyes
And I see the dream we’re chasing
All the pain and all the heartache would be worth it for your kiss
I wanna dance with you
In the misty English moonlight
I wanna drive with you
Cross the sunny skies of blue
And I can’t wait till the day
When I’m finally by your side
But ‘till then, I’ll always be dreaming of you
And this old world that set us both eight thousand miles apart
Don’t mean a thing next to the universe with in our hearts
I wanna dance with you
In the misty English moonlight
I wanna drive with you
Cross the sunny skies of blue
And I can’t wait till the day
When I’m finally by your side
But ‘till then, I’ll always be dreaming of you
‘till then, I’ll always be dreaming of you

Maria

Maria lights up the last of the pack, a black nearly burned out cigarette
She swallows a Xanax and rolls her head back, takes a shot and tries her best to forget
As the sun rises over the west coast of Florida she turns away and then she starts to cry
She’s got the biggest heart and the sharpest mind, but only tears in those faded eyes
Maria, oh Maria
Can you see me cry?
When your high fades away with the dawn of the day
Did you mean what you said with your head in the sky?
I drive a few miles back to her parent’s house and she stands angelic in the light
And every breath we take brings us closer to the end of our night
My heart is racing, my head is pounding, my soul is filled with love
But I know it’s a lie, and we say our goodbyes
Cause I don’t know if it’s her or the drugs
Maria, oh Maria
Can you see me cry?
When your high fades away with the dawn of the day
Did you mean what you said with your head in the sky?
