Solid Ground

How was she to know
Them days could go so slow
The winter nights are cold
And they never seem to end
Time is ticking on the wall
Making echoes in the hall
And silence is her friend
Someone that she could do without

I know the stars will shine
And guide you through the night
That old heart won't let you down
Yes I know that you'll get by somehow
You'll be back on solid ground

And every plan depends
How she'll manage to pretend
And wash out every trace
Of lines upon her face
She won't fool me with her smile
And I see the tears she tried to hide
And I know that she can't deal
With the things she feels inside

Well I know the stars will shine
And guide you through the night
That old heart won't let you down
Yes I know that you'll get by somehow
You'll be back on solid ground

Well I know the stars will shine
And guide you through the night
That old heart won't let you down
Yes I know that you'll get by somehow
You'll be back on solid ground
