Pool Of Tears Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Truth is never easy 

And the game of life is hard 

It's Devil take the loser 

When love is hard to find 

Living in a cold world 

And winter's got my heart 

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 

Wasn't just a good thing 

Never would have stayed 

Brought me to your altar 

And at your feet I prayed 

Your beauty I believed in 

And no shadow crossed my heart 

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" 

Turned your back on me 

Just turned your back on me
