I met a man standing on the street today
Through his eyes, the world looked so grim
As if we all dont know just what its like
When the rain falls down and the lightning strikes
But then girl, Ive been runnin most of my life
And Ive been around long enough to learn
That one mans blue sky is another mans rain
And no matter what is in it for me, I only know for him
Chorus:
These are bad times
These are real bad times
These are sad times
These are bad times
I know we each bear the brunt of our lies
But not until the spirit sinks so low
Does a man start to feel all alone
And when he turns his back on trust
Then theyve only just begun
Chorus:
Oh, I can see there aint much good left to save
If all we have, we let time erase
But I can still make the blues fade away
Till all I see is your sweet face
