The truth is never easy   And the game of life is hard   It's Devil take the loser   When love is hard to find   I'm living in a cold world   And winter's got my heart   I 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         It wasn't just a good thing   I never would have stayed   You brought me to your altar   And at your feet I prayed   Your beauty I believed in   And no shadow crossed my heart   I 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 and   Turned your back on me   Just turned your back on me
