Harry Manx - 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 Had the chance and lost it here This day shone so bright As morning rose Came down like thunder A little cruel as these things go Still water runs so deep, so much time for your goals Wipe those black tears running down your face From eyes penciled 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 The highway rolls before you now, Twilight drawing near Washed out blue sky fading fast, Roadside bars are pumping beer Talk about your destiny, you can watch it unfurl Stopped just shy of giving up, Like fallen prey in a lonely world.
