Elbows on the window sill
My head against the pane
You've seen so many grow and die
But you forgot most of their namesSo I fire that arrow into the great big sky
And I hope that it never comes down
Unless you're coming with it
It's better with you aroundI could drink myself to death tonight
Or I could stand and give a toast
To those who made it out alive
It's you I'll miss the mostBut tonight I'll see my sweetheart
I've got a fifty dollar bill
But somewhere in her weak heart
She knows I never willOh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to find it
Though I was once beside it
I've fallen far behind itFrom a tiny room up on Smith Hill
It's easy to disappear
It's easier to run off hiding
Then say "I don't want you here"
I can't stand to face the facts
It'd only leave you hurt
I don't care much for what you have to say
But I'd like to know what you heardOh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to fid it
Though I once was beside it
I've fallen far behind itIt's a long way free
You can't tread on me
And in the morning when you're crying
You'll see
