Nights Are Harder These Days

Lost a good friend the other day Like a fool, I was blind to the signs Drank right past what he had to say I couldn't read between the lines The last night I saw him, he pulled me close Laughed as he hugged me goodbye He said "The mornings, my friend, yeah they're okay But the nights are harder these days" Who will come to your dreams tonight? Some old flame you didn't treat quite right Like a ghost, she sits upon your bed Familiar ringing in your head, and she says "You got somе pipers you got to pay, love So your nights are hardеr these days" Yeah the nights are harder these days Watching the numbers change The minutes fading away, I can't remember the feeling When my chest wasn't crushed by the weight Yeah the nights are harder these days Monday morning dawn's early light Trucks sweep up yesterday's news They don't know wrong from right Just making way for tomorrow's blues I lay awake and count the ways That the nights are harder Watching the numbers change The minutes fading away, I can't remember the feeling When my chest wasn't crushed by the weight Yeah the nights are harder these days Yeah the nights are harder
