He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end
And of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he’d never known

But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song

He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standin’ by his side
through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there

And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song.

When the bills piled up
He couldn’t pay
He couldn’t dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he rode away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door

When times got rough he’d phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all

He’ll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
All he knows is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song

I’ve been workin’ all my life
Workin’ hard for all my life
Tryin’ to find a reason for livin’
Tryin’ not to take too much without givin’
Never saw no rainbows in my sky

But don’t you see I’m
Halfway over the hill
I’m passin’ over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s gotta get easier from now on

I’ve been runnin’ all my life
Lord, I’ve run for all my life
Seein’ joy and seein’ people grievin’
Seein’ towns and don’t remember leavin’
Never saw no blue birds in my sky

But don’t you see I’m
Halfway over the hill
I’m passin’ over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s gotta get easier from now on

Oh I’m halfway over the hill
I’m passin’ over the hardest part
I’m halfway over the hill
It’s gotta get easier from now on

Every mornin’ many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin’ strangers
Things always look different in the light of day
Every mornin’ many late night lovers
Just silently stare, seein’ all the changes
It’s hard to make small talk
When there’s nothin’ to say

Early mornin’ strangers
Lookin’ at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin’ strangers
Who wake up to discover
It’s just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all

Somewhere baby
There’s got to be more

Somewhere baby there’s a life worth livin’
Where nobody takes more than they are givin’
Where love is forever
Not just for a day

Early mornin’ strangers
Lookin’ at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin’ strangers
Who wake up to discover
It’s just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all

Bye bye baby
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
