hard to be alone

i could see the city

written in your face

freckles spread like constellations all over the place

darling i walked you to the station

shooting with my heart on my sleeve

now i'm staring at your photograph and hoping you ain't made a fool of me

so if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight

when you're on your own beneath the lonely lights

oh darling if i ever cross your mind

won't you let me know

oh it's hard

oh it's hard to be alone

oh it's hard

oh it's hard

to be alone

moved to the big city and called it home

oh what a crowded place to live alone

she was a choir girl when we were young

what have we done

what have we done

so if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight

when you're on your own beneath the lonely lights

oh darling if i ever cross your mind

won't you let me know

oh it's hard

oh it's hard to be alone

oh it's hard

oh it's hard

to be alone
