Charlie Sexton - Cruel And Gentle Things lyrics

In the wind the branches sway In our lives the tragedy plays Like this wind that blows our way So to these dithering days It's ordinary, temporary 'Cause love's a very Cruel and gentle thing In the car she's driving slow With her wounded heart she rolls In the car she's feeling numb But she's not the only one You can rely on It won't deny you Love will provide you Cruel and gentle things Somewhere inside the hollow places The scars beneath the pretty faces The joy and sorrow that it brings We can't help but crave These cruel and gentle things We can't help but crave These cruel and gentle things In the wind the branches sway
