Cruel Light of Day — текст песни (Del Amitri)

Someones opening up for business

The morning rings the same old way

But someone shouldve taught me forgiveness

Now I see it in the cruel light of day



Tell him hes 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 aint ever seen the city look so grey

And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness

They aint no jewels in the cruel light of day.



No I aint some accessory

She can slip off from her back and just fold away

I dont need no one undressing me

When I wake up in the same suit everyday.



So someones opening up for business

The shutters roll so familiarly

And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless

But I dont see it in the cruel light of day.
