Hard Times in Babylon Lyrics by Eliza Gilkyson

Your Town Tonight

0

I light a candle in your name
Long past midnight, memories bright in the freeze frame
And I'm asking myself why
I see at the Marriott, funny little grin
Driving those drums like a chariot
Did it hurt too much to try?
Woody you were my hero
A shoulder to cry on when I bottomed out at zero
In the hour of the wolf, just before the dawn
Hard times in Babylon
O.K. so you had to go
Take a walk on the wild side
Down to the valley of the shadow
But it just don't seem like you
Well you could have called out
There's not a man or woman gathered tonight in the big house
Wouldn't run to pull you through
An incident so grievous
20 years ago you would have thought this is the way you would leave us
In the hour of the wolf, just before the dawn
Hard times in Babylon
Got to hang together when the air's this thin
Hand out the masks for the oxygen
Live for something
We're coming upon a time in our lives
When the little dreams live but the big dream dies
Not for nothing, Not for nothing
I know that love don't end
Nothing I can do is gonna bring you back or let me see you again
In the hour of the wolf, just before the dawn
Hard times in Babylon
In the hour of the wolf, just before the dawn
Hard times in Babylon
