The feeling you get when someone you love leaves...

lyrics

HARD TO BELIEVE
Jim Sharrock

The house is quiet I can hear the crickets sing
Yesterday’s dishes are piled by the sink
It’s so peaceful I can hear the neighbours think
She’s gone
The smell of wildfire drifts in on the breeze
The country burns beneath the summer heat
I’ve a hunger but I don’t care to eat
She’s gone

I’m finding it so hard to believe that she’s gone

I turn on the news for some company
The picture glows blue beneath the Christmas tree
She took the sofa, I kept the TV
She’s gone
So I step outside and look down at the town
The traffic strings the lights like a fairy crown
And in the morning all the presents will be found
She’s gone

CHORUS

My parents used to leave out a shot of rum
This year I thought I’d help myself to some
I drank the bottle so Santa don’t get none
She’s gone
Is this a vision I see walking through the door
She’s come back to me at the break of dawn
And I reach out for her from the loungeroom floor
But she’s gone

CHORUS
