Wakefield Song Lyrics
When we first made the Wakefield album and started putting the graphics together, we considered including the song lyrics for each song, but there was no space on the front or back covers, and we didn't think it was practical to make a fold out cover or add an additional sheet, especially considering that no one felt like our lyrics were anything special. Still, I always thought it was fun to read the lyrics to the songs that I liked, while listening to the song. So, for those of you that would like to do the same, I have included the lyrics to the songs I wrote. Perhaps I can talk Geoff into jotting his down as well. If so, I will include them as I receive them.
Hard Nights
And you know it'll only be a few more days. Just a few more nights like this and I'm on my way.
I was out there trying once again, you're at home alone looking at other men
And my heart's with you although you tell me I don't compromise. You say I don't give, I just take, and it's no surprise
I was out there dying once again, I tried to call but you weren't home til 4am
It's been a hard night, It's been a hard night on, hard night, hard night on and on
Another sleepless night again. When daylight comes it's time for hearts to mend
And I say hold on, can't you hold on, won't you hold on, I'll be with you
Now can't you hold on, won't you hold on, can't you hold on, I'll be with you...and I do
It's been a hard night, it's been a hard night on, hard night, hard night on and on
At times, Wakefield travelled for many weeks at a time away from home. We began touring a larger and larger region as our popularity grew. When you are away from home, you think of those you left behind. It was difficult at times to not succumb to the pitfalls of the road, as many musician's did. "Hard Nights" was written from this perspective.
