Video: Boy Who Cried Wolf


Boy Who Cried Wolf (lyrics)

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth
I lie awake at nights and - think about me
All those usual things like what a fool Ive been
I curse the awful way - that I let you slip away
For what was forged in love, is now cooling down
With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game
I thought I need only call and you would run
But that day you never showed honey - well I sure learnt -

That it seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way -
Now its far too late - an Ive lost this time -
Like the boy who cried wolf

An yes - I know its far too late
To ever win you back -
No tale of nightmares at my gate -
Could make you turn -
My lost concern

And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul
I sit alone and wonder - where did I go wrong?
It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door
But one day you never showed and honey - now Im not so sure -

That is seems I need you more each day
Heaven knows why that it goes that way -
Now its far too late - an Ive lost this time -
Like the boy who cried wolf
