Down in a local bar Out the Boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you from sinking It's a long way down, It's a long way
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 Just for now And just like that It's over.
[Chorus] Don't turn Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid But keep it all inside, 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 In all your silken things That song you softly sing Is keeping you breaking It's a long way down, it's a long way
Back here you never lost 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
[Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry eyes Don't be afraid But keep it all inside, all inside When you fall 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 Is saving you
[Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry you eyes be afraid 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
