about

A lament from 'Songs From James Street North' song-cycle and period.

lyrics

Love’s Hard to Swallow (Bryden)

When the light fades away
And the tears start to fall
Will you give me your hand
Will you help me at all
When the stormy winds blow
It’s so hard to decide
Where you should go
Or what’s wrong or what’s right

Hear the wind and the rain
and you just want to follow
When the stories of love
Seem so hard to swallow.

When it all seems so bleak.
Nothing seems to ring true.
When you’re down in that hole
and you don’t have a clue.
You gave all and got nothing
but a slap in the face.
All the good feeling vanishing
without a trace.

Hear the train whistle blow
and the ground here seems fallow
and the songs about love
just seem so shallow.

Can’t live with this pain.
Can’t live with this shame.
Gotta get through this day
without slipping away.
There’s no time to delay.

Hear the birds taking wing
and you just want to follow.
When the stories of love
just seem so hollow.

Hear the wind and the rain
and you just want to follow
When the stories of love…
Love sweet love seem so hard
to swallow.
