HARD TIMES (KATY’S SONG)


Come and sit down by the window with me Katy
Close your eyes and smell the summer rain
Let it fall and wash away the bitter tears of yesterday
Put your head down on my shoulder and softly say my name
It’s been hard – It’s been a hard, hard time


I know you’re tired of me and my demons Katy
I’ll understand if you if you decided to go
Cause for every step I take each day I take two back the other way
And your Mama’s she’ll be right there saying “girl I told you so”
And I know – Its been a hard, hard time

CHORUS

Katy give me just a little longer
I’ll stay clean and make things right again
Every day that I stay sober I feel a little stronger
With you by my side I know my heart can finally mend
And we can end – these hard, hard times

******

BRIDGE

I’ve burned my bridges like a prairie fire
And left you in the ashes asking why
I’ve been a fool and I’ve been a liar
Now all I want is to be -- is forgiven in your eyes

******

There’s more to me than what the world sees Katy
And I can fix what I have torn apart
If you’ll help this man steady his two shaking hands
I’ll love you with all the fire left in my weary heart
And we’ll start – to get through these hard, hard times

CHORUS

Katy give me just a little longer
I’ll get clean and make things right again
Every day that I stay sober I feel a little stronger
With you by my side I know my heart can finally mend
And we can end – these hard, hard times
