| It seemed so easy at the start
|
| When I left my heart
|
| Sitting on the roof of the car
|
| And drove off
|
| And I rushed to leave the past behind
|
| Forgot that heart was mine
|
| I didn’t even know at the time
|
| I had one
|
| I put the pedal to the floor
|
| Heading for the western shore
|
| Thinking only of high times
|
| I had there
|
| Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel
|
| I thought I’d fly too high to fall
|
| But I never flew
|
| Never left the ground at all
|
| Greedy to get on the way
|
| I made that old mistake
|
| Of sneering at familiar streets
|
| And faces
|
| Did you marry someone good
|
| From our neighborhood?
|
| Or are you on the other side of the world
|
| Still searching?
|
| Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel
|
| I thought I’d fly too high to fall
|
| But I never flew
|
| Never left the ground at all, at all
|
| So next time, time, time
|
| I’ll dream in days or on your mind
|
| Look me up 'cause I
|
| Never left those days behind, behind
|
| I’ve done some things I never should have done
|
| Now I’ve come down, don’t tell me that I’m out of time
|
| Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool
|
| Forget the things I did
|
| When I was cruel, cruel, cruel
|
| I thought I’d fly too high to fall
|
| 'Cause I never flew
|
| Never left the ground at all, at all
|
| So next time, time, time
|
| I’ll dream in days or on your mind
|
| Look me up 'cause I
|
| Never left those days behind, behind |
