"A Song For Susan (Parts One And Two)"

[Part One]

Hard and lonely
He's too blind to choose her
Open your eyes
She's not one for losers

Love is kind
Ease your mind
You've got nothing but your soul to find

Listen now
How often she's told him
Loosen your hands
That's your heart that you're holdin'

'Cause love ain't easy
Who told you it would be?
Help is humble
I don't know, it could be

Just to hold you in a notion
Of me needin' you
'Cause somewhere I know you need me

Years of indignation
Here's what it's come to
One who believes that he can tell you he loves you

Years of indignation
Here's what it's come to
One who believes that he can tell you he loves you

[Part Two]

Tell it to me one time, slowly
Keep it simple, please be plain
How you could be lost so wholly
For no gain

I know simple answers aren't easy
Easy answers aren't often true
But I'll take a chance for any small answer you think might do

This is for my one and only
This is why I can't slow down
This is why I feel so lonely
Low down

I believe in plenty of nothing
Nothing's always seeing me through
But I don't need nothing
I got nothing here without you
I got nothing right here without you
