Silver cross on a silver chain
She was born and raised in Coney Island
But she'll never make it back that way again
Young boy upon a highway
Walk a mile to work a double shift
But on that long and lonely skyway
There's a heavy fog that might never lift
Trouble's been hard
Although I know that in that I ain't alone
Young mom upon a bus seat
One child pulling on her dress
Another softly asking to be held
Heaven knows I need so much less
Trouble's been hard
Although I know that in that I ain't alone
Criminals by a river
Says one to one, "Be still,
Can you see that figure on the levy?
And if the law don't find us, Lord, the devil will."
Trouble's been hard
Although I know that in that I ain't alone
Young girl upon a sidewalk Silver cross on a silver chain She was born and raised in Coney Island But she'll never make it back that way again Young boy upon a highway Walk a mile to work a double shift But on that long and lonely skyway There's a heavy fog that might never lift Trouble's been hard Although I know that in that I ain't alone Young mom upon a bus seat One child pulling on her dress Another softly asking to be held Heaven knows I need so much less Trouble's been hard Although I know that in that I ain't alone Criminals by a river Says one to one, "Be still, Can you see that figure on the levy? And if the law don't find us, Lord, the devil will." Trouble's been hard Although I know that in that I ain't alone Explain Request ×
