Josh Joplin - A Hard Year lyrics

The sky is the color Of white-hot iron The sun is long overdue Snow is falling Hopeless and perfect And I am waiting for you A new afterthought A stupid idea I stayed home all day And wished you were here It's been a hard year No one is safe In a country of spies The landlord is taking down names This building is broken Its windows are worthless And no one ever complains A new afterthought A stupid idea I stayed home all day And wished you were here It's been a hard year It's been a hard year It's been a hard year It's been a hard year The inkspots of birds Shifting in flight A long afternoon Turns to night And I see the sun Through a crack in the sky And just like that It all pa**es by It's been a hard year Front-page pictures Are already old The dishes sit in the sink Seven long days Spent in bed And I haven't slept a wink A new afterthought A stupid idea I stayed home all day And wished you were here It's been a hard year It's been a hard year It's been a hard year It's been a hard year The sky is the color Of white-hot iron The sun is long overdue
