Blue Rodeo - Tired Of Pretending lyrics

You have never tried To conceal or deny That this love is my ruin My peril and trial All of the promises were nothing but lies But now that you're here Why don't you stay for a while Most of my friends Fell under your spell Some fell into heaven But most fell back in to hell The beauty forgotten Like the snow-covered crops in the field Where the wind knows no mercy And she howls and she reels But I'm tired of pretending Yes I'm tired of pretending That I still care I still care And the smoke curls like a river To some forgotten land Floating abandoned the mystery concealed Like the moonlit shadows On a snow-covered field Where the wind knows no mercy And she howls And she reels But I'm tired of pretending Yes I'm tired of pretending That I still care I still care
