Truth is never easy
And the game of life is hard
It's Devil take the loser
When love is hard to find
Living in a cold world
And winter's got my heart
Thought it was for ever
Right from the start
Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said, Please, set me free
Turned your back on me
Wasn't just a good thing
Never would have stayed
Brought me to your altar
And at your feet I prayed
Your beauty I believed in
And no shadow crossed my heart
Thought it was for ever
Right from the start
Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said, Please, set me free
Turned your back on me
Why did I never think the clouds would break
The sky would rain a pool of tears?
Now as the mist comes down this voice cries out in fear
Where are you, why are you not here?
Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said, Please, set me free
Just when I thought that I'd got things right
You turned your back on me
Just when I thought that I'd worked things out
You said, Please, set me free
Turned your back on me
Just turned your back on me
