song title:Hard On You
date: 1996-04-01
song notes:A rare (for me) piano composition
lyrics: 

verse 1:
When will I learn
how not to falter or be turned?
And how can I discern when I've been spurned?

No matter how many seed I sow,
no good here will grow,
how am I to know where I should go?

All of these miles I've come,
beneath the burning sun,
and all of the good things I come from have come undone.

chorus:
I make it hard on you
I make it all turn blue
All of those things you said you knew
have all come true

verse 2:
I've been refused and been denied,
and I've been laid bare and lost my pride.
Now I've got no place left to hide but deep inside.

I tempted fate with time,
and I tried to take what wasn't mine.
I tried to make like I was blind and missed the signs.

There's nothing left to say.
You'll have it both your ways.
I guess I'll have to stay another day

bridge:
'ere you turn away
my heart for to play
my heart for to slay

chorus:
I make it hard on you
I make it all turn blue
All of those things you said you knew
have all come true
all come true
