COME DOWN HARD [2] (Joey Molland)
[from Airwaves LP - recorded 1978 - released U.S. 1979]
[from Airwaves CD - recorded 1978 - released U.S. 1999, 2004]

I heard a lover lie
 Saw a lady cry her heart out
He was on his way
She would have to play the part out

And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'

She didn't understand
It didn't go the way she planned it
She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed
She come down hard

[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]

She was noticing just lately
She had seen a thing or two
Things would get a little shaky
And there was nothin' she could do
She go, "boo-hoo-hoo" (Yeeeeeah-yeah)

She looked around the place
And there was no one there to save her, oh no
And now her eyes would burn
He would not return, she knew it

And though he told her what she did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'
She come down hard

[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)

Leavin'
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin' (come down hard)
Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin'...]

COME DOWN HARD (Joey Molland)
[Sound City demo version - recorded 1978 - unreleased]

I heard a lover lie
Saw a lady cry her heart out
And he was on his way
She would have to play the part out

And though he told her what he did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'

She didn't understand
It didn't go the way she planned it
She thought the ties were strong
Then it all went wrong, she landed
She come down hard

[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)]

She was noticing just lately
She had seen a thing or two
Things would get a little shaky
There was nothin' she could do
Boo hoo hoo

She looked around the place
And there was no one there to save her
And now her eyes would burn
And he would not return, she knew it

And though he told her what he did was right
He only loved her when the moon was bright
And he was leavin'

[guitar solo (Joe Tansin)

She come down hard
Leavin'
Leavin'
Leavin' (come down haaaaarrrrrrd)
Leavin' (come doooooooown hard)
Leavin'
Leavin'
Leavin' (come down haaaarrrrd)]
