Hard Night

There's a message on the kitchen door
There's some shoes missing in the hall
There's been crying the night before
Now there's no answer to my calls

We've been riding that train for seven years
It's a ride that you can't get off
We've been watching the landscape through
 the blur of tears
We're going on though holding on's so tough

I need a hard night to find the reasons
Hard night again
I need a hard night to keep believing
This love's not just a tumblin' house of cards

Sometimes love's an empty glass
Sometimes love is gold
Sometimes I don't realise 
the treasures I've been allowed to hold

Then I need a hard night to find the reasons
Hard night again
I need a hard night to keep believing
This love's not just a tumblin' house of cards

I can't think of anything to say
Everything's been said along the way

There's a line that we never cross
a door that we don't go through
You want to find something, you gotta know what
 you've lost
This time I've lost my faith but I'm gonna pick
 it back up and bring it home to you

I had a hard night but found the reasons
Hard night again
I had a hard night to keep believing
This love's not just a house of cards

I had a hard night but found the reasons
Hard night again
I had a hard night to keep believing
This love's not just a tumblin' house of cards

Hard Night wurde innerhalb von nur einer Stunde geschrieben. Das Lied erzählt von einem Charakter, dessen Beziehung in eine Krise geschlittert ist, und der sich in einer harten Nacht entscheiden muss, ob es sich lohnt, für sie zu kämpfen. Ein flotter Rocksong mit Happy End.
