Aaron Dessner - Hardest Time Lyrics

Up a winter lane, driving all the way
Down the interstate, remember the sound of it
Up to Ruby Falls and Falling Creek and Rocky Top

Down the country roads, into ashes alone
The fields are fine and you're fortified
The hardest time is when we're apart, you should know

Down the creek, it's glistening now
The hawks are about, we talked it out
Now everyone's dying anyway

Flowers are coming out, garden is blooming now
The trees are down, the roof is in
The last man is standing, still holding out

Don't you go passing away, before this time
To say our peace, you stick around
You'll beat this thing, you can be old and grey

Down the country roads, into ashes alone
The fields are fine and we are fortified
The hardest time is when we're apart, you should know

And I don't give a damn, what you say to me
Won't you hear me out, won't you lay it down
The hardest time is when we're apart, you should know
The creek is glistening, it's July again
The hawks are about, we talked it out
Every night, all the time

We were driving down to Tennessee
We stopped at Ruby Falls, we stopped at Rocky Top
At Falling Creek we taught ourselves guitar

In the hottest months of the Michigan
We almost drowned, until they found
Us floating off the torch lane in the dark

Down the country roads, into ashes alone
The fields are fine and we are fortified
The hardest time is when we're apart, you should know

Don't you go passing away, before this time
To say our peace, you stick around
You'll beat this thing, you can be old and grey
We can be old and grey, we can be here to stay
Not some watery grave, it can be hard to stay

The water is good, the weather is fine
It's the heart of it, what will come of this
Now that everything is just falling apart
Down the country roads, into ashes alone
The fields are fine and we are fortified
The hardest time is when we're apart, you should know
