A Little Cruel

Lyrics

Standing in the pouring rain Watching the house burn down All those dreams gone up in flames Wrapped in the arms of friends gathered round Once you were showered with pearls You'd hung gold from your ear But every day's another day slipping by Had your chance and lost it here This day shone so bright As morning rose Came down like thunder A little cruel as these things go A little cruel as these things go Still water runs so deep So much time for your goals Wipe those black tеars running down your face From eyes pеnciled in with kohl Sure you might find yourself Impoverished of soul Trying to sort it all ain't easy Looking out at nowhere left to go This day shone so bright As morning rose Came down like thunder A little cruel as these things go A little cruel as these things go The highway rolls before you now Twilight drawing near Washed out blue skies fading fast Roadside bars are pumping beer Talk about your destiny You watch it unfurl Stopped just shy of giving up Like fallen prey in a lonely world This day shone so bright As morning rose Came down like thunder A little cruel as these things go A little cruel as these things go A little cruel as these things go
