THE HARDEST THING OF ALL
(Michael Donovan)

Through loving eyes I’ve seen her alone with me ….
and then I realize it’s a misty-illusion 
of what I wish could be
Sail-free upon the winds of Northern summer skies
Phantasmagoria ….. cerebral-disguise

I took the Dreamsville Train;
express -- and bound for anywhere ….
perchance to find her waiting out there somewhere
Had to stay-on-board to reach my destination
The silence and the emptiness were oh, so hard to bear
I trembled when I learned she did not care …..

(CHORUS)
Being unloved is The Hardest Thing Of All
No way to win …. when the-writing’s-on-the-wall
You’ve gotta catch yourself before you slip-and-fall
A broken-heart may heal, though it will long-recall
that being unloved is the hardest thing ..... 
The Hardest Thing Of All

The long dark night did fall quickly upon me ….
just as so did the rain from the black swollen clouds
that rushed-in from the sea
The winds had risen-up 
and pushed me father to distress ….
stumblin’ along the way to utter loneliness

(to  CHORUS)
