On his darker days

from Leaving the country by The Weary Band

/

about

Recorded over a long weekend at Beth Porter's family home onto 8-track tape.

lyrics

And on his darker days he dare not leave the house
to face the world outside.
And all his neighbors say he never makes a sound.
He's like a ghost who needs a place to hide.

We make him try, we make him angry.
We're just something that stands in his way.
He knows he's right, at least in his own mind.
There's nothing more that needs to be said.

And on his darker days he is nobody's friend.
And no one knows him best.
He's only getting worse and no-one wants to know.
He finds it hard to keep up with the rest.

We make him tired, we make him lonely.
But we try hard to be all he wants.
He wears me down, he makes me angry.
He always seems to get what he wants.

And on his darker days he sees what he's become
and who he used to be.
