Hard

Grey Eye Glances

I could show you all the joy

If you could look into your eyes like I do

I'd love to take you down toward the river

When you are dry

And if you have a little time

I'll spend the next lifetime by your side

I've learned to understand there's more

To this world than

The morning and the sky

 

It's very hard to sit and watch you now

It's very hard to know you're on your own

It's very hard to move through unfamiliar

Worlds I've never known

It's not enough to make some sense of it

It's not enough to even comprehend

It's not about the life we've left behind

Or the life that leaves us spinning in the end

 

If I could see you through the night

If I could help you see yourself like I do

I'd find a way to lift your courage higher

Like you lift mine

And I'd have something more to say

Then what I've said a thousand other times

I'd tell you there's a new train running

And the balance keeps us both alive

 

It's very hard to sit and watch you now

It's very hard to know you're on your own

It's very hard to move through unfamiliar

Worlds I've never known

It's not enough to make some sense of it

It's not enough to even comprehend

It's not about the life we've left behind

Or the life that leaves us spinning in the end

 

Oh, but it dawned on me

At four o'clock this morning

That through all the waiting

You're just now arriving

The life you're living

Is just now beginning

So move it on, move it on, move it on

 

It's very hard to sit and watch you now

It's very hard to know you're on your own

It's very hard to move through unfamiliar

Worlds I've never known

It's not enough to make some sense of it

It's not enough to even comprehend

It's not about the life we've left behind

Or the life that leaves us spinning in the
