When It Don't Come Easy

Red lights flashing down the highway,
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home,
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonigh.

Everywhere the water's getting rough,
Best intentions may not be enough,
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonight.

But if you break down
I'd drive out and find you
And if you forget my love
I'd try to remind you.

Oh, and stay by you
Oh, when it don't come easy
When it don't come easy.

I don't know nothing 'cept change will come
Year after year what we do is undone,
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home.

You're out here walking down the highway
And all of the signs got blown away,
Sometimes you wonder if you're
Walking in the wrong direction.

But if you break down
I'd drive out and find you
And if you forget my love
I'd try to remind you.

Oh, and stay by you,
Oh, when it don't come easy,
When it don't come easy.

So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now,
Tonight I cry for the love I've lost
And the love that I've never found.

When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds,
Someone will say what's been said before
Some love that we were looking for.

Red lights flashing down the highway,
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home,
Wondering if we're ever gonna get home tonight.
