Belle of Boulevard Songtext / Lyric

Down in a local bar
Out on the Boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you from sinking It's a long way down
It's a long way Back like you never broke
you tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg
and thinks he's getting close
For now you let him

Just this once
and just for now
and just like that it's over

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
we'll keep it all inside, all inside

When you fall apart
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

In all your silver rings
and all your silken things
That song you softly sing is
keeping you from breaking

It's a long way down
It's a long way

Back here you never lost
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it?

Just this once
Just for now
and just like that it's over

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
we'll keep it all inside, all inside

When you fall apart
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on

Down in a local bar
Out on the Boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
we'll keep it all inside, all inside

When you fall apart
Let me dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard
