Hard on the End Again

Hard on the end again
Where your only friends want you to pretend
That everything is fine, that their baby's alright
Drag another line from the day through the night
But don't you realize you wear it like a chain?
And when you want to try to fix it it remains
But every season cries, like a rain in early Spring
How wind can seem to sing to empty trees
And golden leaves that paint the ground, sunlight all around
It seems to cry, yeah every season cries
Sitting alone in the den
Reading magazines, reading every word you can
A word can cut the night, but leave you wanting more
A sweat around the eyes, the hunter at your door
Can leave you wanting more, throw you to the floor
Marionette Lenore wants a word with you
Both hard on the end again
A fast a lonely friend to lick the wounds
A friend to lick the wounds
Everything's beautiful down where your heart's alone
Down where the feeling's strong
Down where the water's cold
Hard on the end again
Don't you realize that everybody's fine
And that isn't quite a lie
Everything's beautiful down where your heart's alone
Down where the feeling's strong
Down where the water's cold
