Solo acoustic slide instrumental with a somewhat reflective theme. Kinda sad, yet hopeful. Played on my National Tricone resophonic guitar "Roscoe". **NEWLY REMASTERED** No more 60 cycle Hum! :oD

Sitting alone at sunset about a year after she left, the melody just started playing in my head. It kept it up for about two weeks, and then I finally relented and picked up the National and recorded it as I had heard it.

Funny that you'd be lookin' for the lyrics of an instrumental. Well I'm not the kind who would disappoint anyone knowingly; so here are some words for you to sing along with. (You can make up your own lyrics for the 2nd and 3rd verses and the bridge):

Hardly Comes a Day

Hardly... hardly comes a day;

That I don't do some thinkin', 'bout the way it used to be;

And then do a little drinkin', but just one or twenty-three;

I had it all, and I let it slip away;

Now hardly, hardly comes a day..."
