It's hard to get out Hard to ger out when it's so dark It's hard to look out It's uncertain but the curtain won't draw itself Where can you go where no one knows your name No-one's glad that you came Bar Lonely is so close It's on the corner at the Golden Gai You know the owner and he knows Which shot is the usual for you The memories he will remove from you He'll be taking everything you can lose By the end of the night She has to be out She has to be out until the end She has to stay out She's uncertain but the curtain might draw itself Where can she go where no one knows your name No-one's glad that you came Life is never going to be easy But if you're living it with me We're going to live it up night or day Well I want to live a life with you No life is you And I want it night or day I look forward to night or day, oh my You're alone and everybody here is alone Just like you And you know that they'll be singin with you By the end of the night There'll never be an end to the night It's hard to come home It's hard to come home when it's so dark Hard to come home It's uncertain but the curtain fell when you were away
