Hard Act To Follow

Brother Cane

Pickin' up the pieces

Sweepin' off the dust

I thought it would be better

But it's never been so rough

Flippin' through old numbers

Dependin' on the past

It helps to have some company

But it seems to never last



Then it comes

The loneliness within

Like a stone

Crushin' me again



You're a hard act to follow

I can't find nobody, baby quite like you

You're a hard act to follow

Yeah yeah



(solo fill)



Yesterdays were easy

Gentle on my mind

I'd run to you for shelter from the storm

And leave the world behind

The way you cleared my senses

The way you soothed my soul

If only I had faith in you

My tears would never flow



Now you're gone

My hope is all in vain

I was wrong

I couldn't make you stay



You're a hard act to follow

There ain't anything, baby quite like you

You're a hard act follow

Yeah Yeah



Everything I done

I can't change

One to many crosses to bear

Who's to blame?

Oh just to have you back today



(solo)



Oh Then it comes

The loneliness within

I was wrong

It's crushin' me again



You're a hard act to follow

I can't find nobody quite like you

You're a hard act to follow yeah



You're a hard act to follow

There ain't anyone like you

You're a hard act to follow yeah

There ain't anything like you

I can't find nobody quite like you
