A dark cloud a hangin' out over my head I woke up this morning to an empty bed Why she left me is hard to say Well is this fate or just a bad day Chorus Is this bad luck or just bad timin' Or is it the lies I told it's hard to say Can you get back what's gone they say so If you get down on your knees and believe and pray But some prayers are hard to pray Well some things it's hard to say Thumb up in the air and I'm a hitchin' a ride Plenty cars passin' but I'm on the wrong side If I cross over will they go my way Is this fate or just a bad day Chorus repeats twice

You and I been thinking 'bout this We should probably talk about it I can't keep on cover up The feelings we left behind It's a 破不了的氣球 一個縫不好的洞 So we'll deal with that another day A tension that I hope 我不懂 不能深究 不再 cling on to 不再 wallow But sometimes I think Am I in bad shape Or am I too in denial? Am I just running Or am I running circles? Loving is easy But love is something hard to say 砸了愛不釋手的我 轉身不心動 Baby, kind of wanna know how it feels Breaking your adore 我在你的衣服藏了一句 （我不能再說） So we'll deal with that another day The vitamin I take when I say Am I in bad shape Or am I too in denial? Am I just running Or am I running circles? Loving is easy But love is something hard to save 寫不同形狀的字 In your shadow In your shackles 偶爾脫離 偶爾只是 過不同緯度的街 Undercover In your album 偶爾想起 偶爾只是 寫不同形狀的字

Every time we speak, our words betray intentions Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart Waiting out the worst, we keep the best inside us In hopes our hearts can hide us, in hopes our tears don't show And you know we're not the first to try and reach the distance And though we meet resistance, the love between us grows And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies We could be sailing through each other's eyes And in those stolen moments when love is caught off-guard We see it never had to be this hard Every time we speak, our words betray intentions Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies We could be sailing through each other's eyes And in those stolen moments when love is caught off-guard We see it never had to be this hard

An only child alone and wild A cabinet maker's son His hands were meant For different work And his heart was known to none He left his home and went his lone And solitary way And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay A quiet man of music Denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once But his music wouldn't wait He earned his love through discipline A thundering, velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band My brothers' lives were different For they heard another call One went to Chicago And the other to St. Paul And I'm in Colorado When I'm not in some hotel Living out this life I've chose And come to know so well I thank you for the music And your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom When it came my time to go I thank you for the kindness And the times when you got tough And, papa, I don't think I said 'I love you' near enough The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band I am a living legacy to the leader of the band

Met my old lover in the grocery store The snow was falling Christmas Eve I stole behind her in the frozen foods And I touched her on the sleeve She didn't recognize the face at first But then her eyes flew open wide She went to hug me and she spilled her purse And we laughed until we cried We took her groceries to the checkout stand The food was totaled up and bagged We stood there lost in our embarrassment As the conversation dragged Went to have ourselves a drink or two But couldn't find an open bar We bought a six-pack at the liquor store And we drank it in her car We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how She said she'd married her an architect Who kept her warm and safe and dry She would have liked to say she loved the man But she didn't like to lie I said the years had been a friend to her And that her eyes were still as blue But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I Saw doubt or gratitude She said she saw me in the record stores And that I must be doing well I said the audience was heavenly But the traveling was hell We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to time Reliving in our eloquence Another 'auld lang syne' The beer was empty and our tongues were tired And running out of things to say She gave a kiss to me as I got out And I watched her drive away Just for a moment I was back at school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home The snow turned into rain
