To conceal or deny
That this love is my ruin
My peril and trial
All of the promises were nothing but lies
But now that you're here
Why don't you stay for a while
Most of my friends
Fell under your spell
Some fell into heaven
But most fell back in to hell
The beauty forgotten
Like the snow-covered crops in the field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls and she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
I still care
And the smoke curls like a river
To some forgotten land
Floating abandoned the mystery concealed
Like the moonlit shadows
On a snow-covered field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls
And she reels
But I'm tired of pretending
Yes I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
I still care
You have never tried To conceal or deny That this love is my ruin My peril and trial All of the promises were nothing but lies But now that you're here Why don't you stay for a while Most of my friends Fell under your spell Some fell into heaven But most fell back in to hell The beauty forgotten Like the snow-covered crops in the field Where the wind knows no mercy And she howls and she reels But I'm tired of pretending Yes I'm tired of pretending That I still care I still care And the smoke curls like a river To some forgotten land Floating abandoned the mystery concealed Like the moonlit shadows On a snow-covered field Where the wind knows no mercy And she howls And she reels But I'm tired of pretending Yes I'm tired of pretending That I still care I still care Explain Request ×
