Barclay James Harvest - Pools Of Tears Lyrics

The truth is never easy
And the game of life is hard
It's Devil take the loser
When love is hard to find
I'm living in a cold world
And winter's got my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that
I'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me

It wasn't just a good thing
I never would have stayed
You brought me to your altar
And at your feet I prayed
Your beauty I believed in
And no shadow crossed my heart
I thought it was for ever
Right from the start

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free
Turned your back on me

Why did I never think the clouds would break
The sky would rain a pool of tears
Now as the mist comes down this voice cries out in fear
Where are you, why are you not here?

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free

Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said please set me free and
Turned your back on me
Just turned your back on me
