Cruel Stage — текст песни (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
