Like more than you can take ♪ And I know you want to suffer ♪ I've been to that place ♪ Give it to you rougher ♪ Like there's a debt you've got to pay But that ain't how the world was made And you know that, don't you? ♪ Yes, harder rain ♪ Oh, darker darkness If it's up to me
A little love would go a long way And you say you don't want it easy Oh, babe, you know I agree But ain't it easy just the same, babe— ♪ All this suffering for every little thing?
And you say you want it holy
Like some prophet by the sea That ain't how the world was made And you know that, don't you? ♪ Yes, harder rain Oh, darker darkness If it's up to me A little love would go a long way Little star of the County Down—hear me If it feels like you're nowhere now—hear me More pain won't kill the pain—hear me Hear me ♪ So you say you want it harder Like more than you can take
