A Hard Year Lyrics

The sky is the color of white hot iron

The sun is long over due

The 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, it's 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

The ink spots 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 passes by

It's been a hard year

The front page pictures are already old

The dishes sit in the sink

Seven long days I've 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
