These days is hard times, hard times so it seems
These days is hard times so it seems
But from what I have seen
And what hard times means
Ain’t a day go by hard times don’t seem to be
The flower that you planted in your back yard
Oh the flower in your yard baby girl
It may blossom and grow
But with the first falling snow
Ain’t nothing gonna stop its dying in this world
Well the river churns on to a stormy sea
The river runs to a stormy sea
And it will pass through the light
And it will pass through the night
The things gonna be are gonna be
Now listen to me
There may be light at the end of the tunnel
A choir of angels to sing the lord’s praise
There may be nothing at all beyond this world’s walls
Just remember that I love you today
Well I saw a blue bird crossing the sky
I saw that bird up in the sky
And I’ve sang this line
God knows how many times
If a man could but grow wings and fly
When you grow old will you think of me
Honey will you think of me
For when death comes to call
At the end of it all
I could bear to cross knowing I’m in your memory
The mountains may crumble and the seas burn
A great fire to lick up the seas
But then the world may turn
In constant rebirth
All but your lovin’s a matter beyond me
