about

This is a new arrangement of a song that appeared on Rebecca Hall
Sings! in 1999. This version is closer to what we originally intended.

lyrics

Fourteen days I saw you run
Over the hills and into the sun
Little baby sleeping on a back porch stair
God knows how you found the heart to leave her there
And it’s a hard way to learn

Two weeks more on the sidewalk scene
Tender-hearted girl with a smile so lean
Tell me how your bright ideal
Measures up to a life so real
And it’s a hard way to learn.

Fourteen nights ‘neath a waning moon
Old regrets will be fading soon
Midnight girl sits up alone
Writing one last letter home
And it’s a hard way to learn.
