The Man That Got Away
Rufus Wainwright
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter The winds grow colder, suddenly you're older And all because of the man that got away No more his eager call, the writings on the wall The dreams you've dreamed have all gone astray The man that won you has run off and undone you That great beginning has seen a final inning Don't know what happened, it's all a crazy game No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the mill And never a new love will be the same Good riddance, goodbye Every trick of his you're on to But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to? The road gets rougher, it's lonelier and tougher With hope you'll burn up, tomorrow he might turn up There's just no letup, the livelong 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
