I could see the city written in your face Freckles spread like constellations all over the place Darling, I walked you to the station Shooting with my heart on my sleeve Now I'm staring at your photograph And hoping you ain't made a fool of me So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight When you're on your own beneath the lonely lights Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind Won't you let me know? Oh, it's hard Oh, it's hard to be alone Oh, it's hard Oh, it's hard to be alone Moved to the big city and called it home Oh, what a crowded place to live alone She was a choir girl when we were young What have we done, what have we done ♪ So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight When you're on your own beneath the lonely lights Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind Won't you let me know? Oh, it's hard Oh, it's hard to be alone Oh, it's hard Oh, it's hard to be alone
