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
|
