Richard X. Heyman Learn To Love
I've had a world of trouble darlin'
Had my share of misery
But when I think about the good times
Well it's always you and me
I've been down on my luck somehow
And I don't know what to do
And I fought with my resistance
But I had to talk to you
And I've been runnin' from the truth
Like a killer on parole
And the only light I'd let in
Was the burning of my soul
There's a noise outside my door
There's a clamor on the street
Seems there's a world out there after all
And I guess it's time we meet
Oh lately, this old world seems rough
I can call out, but I just can't touch
Somebody better learn to love
And when it's neither day or night
And the season's in between
In the middle of emotion
Of a life inside a dream
And when the wintertime comes
And they're still out on the street
I can't take this bad reception
And I read myself to sleep
Oh lately, this old world seems rough
I can call out, but I just can't touch
Somebody better learn to love
And I'm not that poor to help
And I'm not that down to care
But when the judgement day comes round
All charges will be cleared
And to the one who deals the cards
What's that hanging from your cuff?
Cause there's a lonely pair of hearts here
And the rest I'll have to bluff
Oh lately, this old world seems rough
I can call out, but I just can't touch
Somebody better learn to love
