Love Is A Hard Thing

Come the revelation I need a pick-me-up

Ask a close relation “now help me change my luck”

She ask if I need money – all I need is time

And a little understanding of how restless spirits fly

Chorus

Her pretty eyes blazed me – pulling me in

Like an injection – under my skin

Leaving me breathless – she clipped my wings

To a restless spirit

LOVE IS A HARD THING love is, love is

She told me “come on over better take a look”

Took me to a trailer anchored to a pick-up truck

Pulled out a key, unlocked the door, beckoned me inside

When you get a restless spirit, you’re barely asking “why”

Repeat chorus

“That’s a hard thing”

(Middle 8)

She sat across face to me and took my shaking hand

Traced a life-line flowing when that vapour hit the lamp

In the magic of that moment or was it sweet design

She said “OK it’s time to let that restless spirit fly”

Repeat chorus

Now her hair was rolling, tumbling, ringlets falling down

She was looking in my eyes and talking softly now

Moving slowly to me – ‘cross the table top

Pulling ever forward, I didn’t have the strength to stop

Repeat chorus

On the 7^th hour – of the 7^th day

Of the 7^th month – I heard my lover say

“LOVE IS A HARD THING”
