Judy Collins - Hard Times For Lovers Lyrics

Judy Collins Lyrics

"Hard Times For Lovers"

Seems it was just a while ago
All of my friends and I
Went to each others weddings
And stood by each others sides
And became brides

Talking on the phone to Kurt today
He said that he and Liz were through
And by the way that
Things have been going
You could say that they were overdue

For every other married pair of us
That already split in two
Each of us turning our own lives alone
For sleeping with someone new
Ain't it true

These are hard times for lovers
Everyone wants to be free
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Everyone singing, I gotta be me
Without you

Now, honey, I'm supposed to tell you
I've got to live for today
And don't you know it is my lifetime
I've got to live it my own way

And lately, I can't help thinking
I reap what I sow
For all of my holy freedom
What have I got to show
I don't know

These are hard times for lovers
Everyone wants to be free
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Everyone singing, I gotta be me
Without you

But lately, I can't help thinking
I reap what I sow
For all of my holy freedom
What have I got to show
I don't know

These are hard times for lovers
Everyone wants to be free
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Everyone singing, I gotta be me
Without you

Ain't these hard times for lovers
Everyone wants to be free
Ain't these hard times for lovers
