Cruel Stage Lyrics - Graham Parker

Take me for what I'm worth though it may not amount to much 

Take me from this abyss and put me back in touch 

Though I have strayed from you though I have fallen from grace 

I am back on higher ground up from that lonely place 

Chorus 

Cos I have found the going tough and you have suffered long enough 

And I am undoin' this cruel stage that I've been going through 

These words they come hard I've tried to make them live 

I carve them from a humbleness I'm not familiar with 

And though I have built a world made out of panes of glass 

I won't shatter yours no more with a pain that lasts

Chorus 

And I have found the going tough 

But I will find the strength enough 

And I am undoin' this cruel stage 

That I've been going through

I didn't mean to hurt you 

No that's not what I meant 

Now I mean to alert you of my true intent 

Take me for what I'm worth though it may not amount to much take me from this abyss and put me back in touch 

Repeat 1st chorus
