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 way
Back like you never broke tell a dirty joke He touches your leg And thinks He's getting close For now you let him Just this once Just now And just like that It's over.
[Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid But keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always For the Belle of the Boulevard
In all your silver rings In all your silken things That 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 To get your courage up Can you believe it? Just this once Just for now And just like It's over
[Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid But 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 on, it's alright Please hold on, it's alright hold on
Down in a local bar Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you
[Chorus] Don't turn away your eyes, dry you eyes Don't 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
