Hard Enough

You let me into your life on a whim
And there was magic and fire in the night
In loving I was just a little girl
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I'm older now

Some people think that it's best to refrain from the conventions of old-fashioned lust
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down

And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes

And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me


I wasn't looking when we built these walls
Let me spread my dreams at your feet
Let’s not let time’s bitter flood rise
Before my thoughts begin to run


Can't stand the thought of another, talking to you
Where would I be tonight if you hadn't held me here, in your arms?

B. Flowers

Look back in silence; the cradle of your whole life.
There in the distance, losing its greatest prize.
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred.
Why?

Where did the bough break?
It happened before your time.


There were people there, lovely as you've ever cared.
Tonight.
you can start again.
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.


Only the young can break away...
Lost when the wind blows; on your own



Mother its cold here. Father thy will be done.
Thunder and lightening are crashing down.
They got me on the run, direct me to the sun.
Redemption keeps my covers clean tonight.
