When it don't come easy

Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home tonight
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
I don´t know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home
You´re out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you´re walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
So many things that I had before
That don´t matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I´ve lost
And the love I´ve never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what´s been said before
Some love we were looking for
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home tonight
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
I don´t know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we´re gonna ever get home
You´re out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you´re walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
So many things that I had before
That don´t matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I´ve lost
And the love I´ve never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what´s been said before
Some love we were looking for
But if you break down
I´ll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I´ll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don´t come easy
