Up on the hill
Just hear that nightbird lose its mind
Is he mourning for the days
Before the bright sun's eyes went blind
Can't remember where I'd been
When I was searching for a land of green
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
Down in the dark
I hear that siren call my name
See her standing in the light
Waiting for that long gone train
Can't remember who I was
When I was fighting for that real just cause
Can't remember what I did
But when I'd done it I just ran and hid
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
Out in the streets
Just hear that rain a-falling slow
Keeps on looking for a place
But there ain't no more place to go
Can't remember how it went
But I came back without a goddamn cent
Can't remember why we fought
But I set sail for another port
Rails a-humming
Clocks keep running
Wind keeps crying
Hard times rising – oh Lord
