Cruel World

Cruel World - Christian Larsson

Lyrics by：Daniel Lanois

Composed by：Daniel Lanois

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

This big old world sure got me running 'round

I heard a voice it told me settle down

And with the moonlight as my guide

And with this feeling deep inside

I know now that I'm homeward bound

And as I wander through the pines the whisperings they tell

Of the many before me who tried and fell

Seeking fortune and ways

To get to glory days

Looking for a place in this old world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

Desert roads desert plains

I have seen so much pain

Now I see into the eyes of a girl

No more no more cruel world

On a dusty trail I saw vapour light

Was it a mirage

Don't know but it seemed right

I felt mission I felt trust

I knew then that I must

Go to her away from this cruel world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

Cruel cruel world I'm gone
