It's so hard to tend   The heart of this man   And not before the day's gone   I'm sure I'll hold him again   I think I'm losing the grip   Or I could let it slip   I guess until the day's gone   I seem to work on that drift   But I can't, don't you see   I just can't      You want me to speak   And so my dumbness gets me weak   It hurts when the day's gone   That I'm tired of your needs   And I couldn't, I just couldn't      It's so hard to give   I should make you live   But after the day's gone   You want me to forgive   It's so hard to lose   The dream came so close   And now when the day's gone   Everyone knows I can't   I just can't      And I couldn't   I just couldn't
