Circle - Hard To Realize lyrics

rate me

At first just a shadow in the distance<br />

Creeping up the holler with a gun<br />

A moonlit silhouette but for an instant<br />

Waiting for the rising of the sun.<br />

He saw her kneeling down in the meadow<br />

Dandelions done up in her hair<br />

Misty fog crowned her like a halo<br />

Went and caught her fully unaware.<br />

<br />

Went and caught her fully unaware, Lord,<br />

Went and caught her fully unaware.<br />

He planned their life right out then and there, Lord,<br />

Went and caught her so unaware.<br />

<br />

Made themselves a home up in the holler<br />

Built strong with stone, wood and mud.<br />

Joyful times surely were to follow<br />

Sealed their love on parchment with their blood.<br />

Lo he was a man who earned his dollars<br />

By the skill with which he used a gun,<br />

So he had to pack up from the holler<br />

Told his love she was the only one.<br />

<br />

Told his love she was the only one, Lord,<br />

He told his love she was the only one,<br />

But he weakened from the flesh in his travels,<br />

And so their love began to come undone.<br />

<br />

When he came home from his journey<br />

She looked at him, knew he'd been untrue.<br />

He lied and said he only could be faithful<br />

So she did what she had to do.<br />

She packed up what she had and left the holler;<br />

He was sleeping and never saw ehr go.<br />

Goodbye is what you say to a loved one<br />

He wasn't one of those anymore.<br />

<br />

Not a loved one anymore, Lord,<br />

He wasn't loved anymore.<br />

Sitting hunched over on the floor, Lord,<br />

His love had gone away forevermore.<br />

<br />

Hard to realize the fruits of your labor<br />

Hard to visualize what tomorrow sees<br />

Hard to relinquish that which you savor<br />

Hard to understand the pain is real<br />

Hard to retort with no explanation<br />

Hard to realize there was no excuse<br />

Hard to understand there'll be no salvation<br />

Hard to validate such abuse<br />

Hard to realize he could have just let be<br />

Hard to realize that man was me<br />

<br />
