letra de hard love - martin simpson

[verse 1]
well, i remember growin’ up, love, like it was only yesterday
mom and daddy tried their best to guide me on my way
but the hard times and the liquor drove the easy love away
and the only love i knew about was hard love

[chorus]
oh, it was hard love every hour of the day
when christmas to my birthday was a million years away
and the fear that came between them, it drove the tears into my play
there was love in daddy’s house but it was hard lovе

[verse 2]
i recall the gentlе courtesy you showed me as i tried
to dissemble in politeness all the love i felt inside
but for every song of laughter there was another song that cried
oh, this ain’t no easy weekend, this is hard love

[chorus]
it was hard love every step of the way
it was hard to be so close to you and hard to turn away
but when all the stars and the sentimental songs dissolve today
there’ll be nothin’ left to sing about but hard love

[verse 3]
so i love you for your courage and your gentle sense of shame
and i love you for your laughter and your language and your name
and i knew it was impossible but i loved you just the same
though the only love i gave to you was hard love
[chorus]
oh, it was hard love, it was so hard on you, i know
when the only love i gave to you was love i couldn’t show
you forgave the heart that loved you, as your lover turned to go
leavin’ nothin’ but the memory of hard love

[guitar solo]

[verse 4]
so now i’m standin’ in this phone booth with a dollar and a dime
and i am wondering what to say to you to ease your troubled mind
for the lord’s cross might redeem us but our own just wastes our time
and to tell the two apart is always hard love

[verse 5]
so i’ll tell you that i love you even though i’m far away
and i tell you how you changed me as i live from day to day
and how you help me to accept myself and i won’t forget to say
that love is never wasted even when it’s hard love

[chorus]
no, it’s hard love but it’s love all the same
it’s not the stuff of fantasy, much more than just a game
and it’s the only kind of miracle that is worthy of the name
for the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love
