Boy Who Cried Wolf - The Style Council

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth

I lie awake at nights and — think about me All those usual things like what a fool I’ve been

I curse the awful way — that I let you slip away

For what was forged in love, is now cooling down

With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game

I thought I need only call and you would run

But that day you never showed honey — well I sure learnt —

That it seems I need you more each day

Heaven knows why that it goes that way —

Now it’s far too late — an' I’ve lost this time —

Like the Boy who cried Wolf

An' yes — I know it’s far too late

To ever win you back —

No tale of nightmare’s at my gate —

Could make you turn —

My lost concern

And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul

I sit alone and wonder — where did I go wrong?

It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door

But one day you never showed and honey — Now I’m not so sure —

That is seems I need you more each day

Heaven knows why that it goes that way —

Now it’s far too late — an' I’ve lost this time —

Like the Boy who cried Wolf
