Lyrics
The sky is the color of white hot iron
The sun is long overdue
The snow is falling, hopeless and perfect
And I am waiting for you
CHORUS:
A new afterthought, a stupid idea
I stayed home all day, and wished you were here
It’s been a hard year
No one is safe in a country of spies
The landlord is taking down names
This building is broken, it’s windows are worthless
And no one ever complains
CHORUS
The inks spots of birds shifting in flight
A long afternoon turns to night
And I see the sun through a crack in the sky
And just like that it all passes by
It’s been a hard year
The front page pictures are already old
The dishes sit in the sink
Seven long days spent in bed
And I haven’t slept a wink
CHORUS
It’s been a hard year
It’s been a hard year
It’s been a hard year
The sky is the color of white hot iron
The sun is long overdue
