The Man That Got Away — текст песни (Jeff Buckley)

Very nice man



The road is bitter,

The stars have lost their glitter;

The winds grow colder

Suddenly youre older

And all because of the man that got away.



No more his eager call

The writings on the wall

The dreams you dreamed

Have all gone astray



The man that won you

Has run off and undone you.

That great beginning

Has seen the final inning

Dont know what happened

Its all a crazy game

A game



No more that all-time thrill

For youve been through the mill

And never a new love

Will be the same



Good riddance, good-bye

Every trick of his youre on to

But fools will be fools

And wheres he gone to?



The road gets rougher

Its lonelier and tougher

With hope you burn up

Tomorrow he might turn up

Theres just no letup

The live-long night and day



Ever since this world began

There is nothing sadder than

A one-man woman looking for

The man that got away

The man that got away
