BOY WHO CRIED WOLF - Paul Weller



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
