about

BIO: Incognitus.

TRACK: Originally Atmika and I recorded this track as part of an album called Common Roots which we recorded for our fathers who inspired us both musically when we were growing up. I chose this song because all of us living with a bleeding disorder go through hard times.

lyrics

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh hard times come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Oh hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more

While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh hard times come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Oh hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more

There's a pale droopy maiden who toils her life away
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Oh hard times come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Oh hard times, hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more
Oh hard times come again no more
