Hard Year

Feels like snow again
 I'm going back home again
 I'm driving those old roads again
 And old corners
 The house looks the same as it did
 And dad asks how things have been
 Mom calls me her long lost kid
 Just like always
 It's been a hard year
 And I don't want to talk about it here
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 I take the dog for a walk
 Not much has changed around here
 I sneak a cigarette and talk
 To an empty sky
 And try not to think about
 How you used to laugh out loud
 And then come crashing down
 Where I could hold you
 It's been a hard year
 And I don't want to talk about it here
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 You called to say
 You're sorry for the missing me
 You were just so angry
 So angry
 A wife and a mother now
 Sometimes you still think about how
 Things might have gone with you and me
 And oh well, I guess it doesn't matter anyway
 It's been a hard year
 And I don't want to talk about it here
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
 It's been a long fall but I'm climbing out
