Fairport Convention - Tried So Hard Lyrics






Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
'Cause she's moving somewhere far away not slow
And though I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go

Even though this time it really hurts me bad
I've been through similarities
It's not the first break I've had
Just can't let it bring me down too low
'Cause I tried so hard to please her
There must be something more to know

Never thought that we would find our end this way
It seemed that everything was going fine
Still with all the things that I can do or say
It won't change the fate I know so well is mine

So I'll stop again and look right past the pain
Because I've been in love before and I can love again
While she's moving somewhere far away not slow
Although I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go

Stopped awhile this morning on my way back home
I had to realize this time that I'd be all alone
'Cause she's moving somewhere far away not slow
And though I tried so hard to please her
She said she really had to go

Fairport Convention Tried So Hard Comments
  1. a.... ....

    Sound like beatles

  2. x.... y....

    Best version is by The Byrds.

    x.... y....

    Did Byrds ever record this? I thought it was written by Gene Clark post-Byrds. My favorite recording is the Flying Burrito Brothers which featured a couple ex-members of the Byrds.

  3. M.... ....

    Iain and Sandy sing this one well.

  4. I.... M....

    Nice cover of Gene Clark's song!

  5. W.... S....

    Good song. Don't know who has the best version. Today's singers with the exception of Chris Hillman wouldn't do a great job singing a song like this.

  6. C.... G....

    great Gene Clark song!

  7. j.... ....

    Sandy and Iain Matthews sounded so amazing together!

  8. T.... B....

    written by GENE CLARK

  9. S.... G....

    Such a great song! Check out the Flying Burritos version and the the Yo La Tengo version!

    S.... G....

    And in 1969 the Australian group The Flying Circus also covered it nicely on their debut Album The Flying Circus. 😊

  10. R.... H....

    You bet, after Gram left.

  11. M.... W....

    Love Sandy! Did The flying burrito brothers do this?

  12. c.... o....

    thanky immensely for these...yay

  13. I.... ....

    I love this song, so much. :) It will always be one of my very favorites. I used to listen to it as a little girl, it's the music I grew up with. (22)

  14. J.... H....

    Absolute classic!

  15. f.... ....

    Gene Clark

    I remember finding this album in a public library....It's still in my collection so I guess I owe a fine or something. Gladly pay it. Her voice makes me hard

    m.... ....

    I had this album on hold from that library .. but it never ever came back, and I had to wait for YouTube to be invented.
