I flew a white kerchief, though it didn’t fly far It didn’t fly high enough for you to see From the thrill of living on your own star And that’s very far The hard way is still a hard way to learn
I knew you were leaving, hoped you wouldn’t run far At least not far enough for you to believe In the thrill of somebody’s arms And that’s very far The hard way is still a hard way to learn
All of your reasons where sad but true I was one too many in your spotlight for two But I’d live it all over with all that I knew
I'm learning the hard way for you Still learning the hard way for you One day I’ll surrender my longing for you
I’ll cast off my burdens, my sorrow and chain On the day that I'm over you And that’s very far The hard way is still a hard way to learn
