Riding here I stand And watch the daylight fade away Darkness is fallin' And my pain is here to stay Oh, how I wish that I were Anywhere but here This hopeless place has me Lost in constant fear Better days await Just around the bend Better days were here And now they're gone again Better days again, my friend ♪ Want that life was simple And I could go back in time Want that I could keep the love That once was mine Better days await Just around the bend Better days were here And now they're gone again Please come back to me I hope and I pray Please come back to me This time to stay Better days again, my friend My friend My friend ♪ Better days await Just around the bend Better days were here And now they're gone again Please come back to me I hope and I pray Please come back to me This time to stay Better days again, my friend My friend My friend
