Cruel Light Of Day Lyrics - Some Other Sucker's Parade - Del Amitri

Someone's opening up for business 

The morning rings the same old way 

But someone should've taught me forgiveness 

Now I see it in the cruel light of day 

Tell him, he's done me a kindness 

She was going to leave anyway 

But love is such sweet blindness 

'Til you see it in the cruel light of day 

Last night was just a comedy 

And I woke up like a walking tragedy 

And it was right in front of me 

But I just laughed and turned my eyes away 

So pour me another cup of coffee 

I ain't ever seen the city look so gray 

And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness 

But they ain't no jewels in the cruel light of day 

No, I ain't some accessory 

She can slip off from her back and just fold away 

I don't need no one undressing me 

When I wake up in the same suit everyday 

So someone's opening up for business 

The shutters roll so familiarly 

And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless 

But I don't see it in the cruel light of day 

No, I don't see it in the cruel light of day
