Hard World

歌詞

Just barely 20 with a slight frame And a hunger for something that I couldn't name I went runnin', I went runnin' Runnin' barefoot into the night I got hair the color of a silkworm's dream The prettiest little thing that you ever did see They come runnin', they come runnin' Anything they can do, they clamour for me Oh, it never changes Oh, but we carry the weight with us Oh, it's a hard world It all seemed like such a long time ago They buried my story when they filled in that hole Nobody runnin', nobody runnin' Nobody trying to explain I wanna wake in the woods beside the lake Just resting my head in some moss covered glen Oh, it never changes Oh, but we carry the weight with us Oh, it's a hard world Motor oil colored hair and a white t-shirt Now tan from the rust and the dirt Nobody calls for me Nobody hunts for me They don't seem to know I'm gone The other girls and me Resting under this tree Are green with envy at the attention you draw Oh, it never changes Oh, but we carry the weight with us Oh, it's a hard world for the little things A hard world, oh A hard world for all the lost girls Remember me, remember me Underneath this lonesome, awful tree Let the roots and soil drink of me Whispering leaves, pointing branches will tell them where I'm lying
