A Little Cruel Lyrics by Harry Manx

Wise and Otherwise

0

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
