It ends like it begins   With a whimpering scream for clemency   And trace the happenings   That made me an enemy   You didn't get that far   Nothing gets that far   So examine, and evaluate   Until all the feeling has gone   Devise formulas and blueprints   The mechanical dictates that I could never be in love again   I promised to myself that day I could never be in love again   I promised to myself that day I could never be in love again   I promised to myself that day I could never be in love again         You're a lapwing, a partridge, a sparrow   A skylark, a thursh or a dove   Beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to   Taken flight as soon as you've arrived   I'd love to get that far   I always go too far   Everythings still how you saw it this morning   It could never change, it could never change   You may help yourself but no one else will aid your search for    Some kindness in a cold cold world   Is all that we could hope for here   Some kindness in a cold cold world   Is all that we could hope for here   Some kindness in a cold cold world   Is all that we could hope for here   Some kindness in a cold cold world      But the good can return   As fast as it disappeared   And the bad can return   As though it thought it was needed   It never goes that far   Nothing goes that far   To be correct in assumptions   To have you return   To recieve impossible divine favours and to know that    I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again   I promised to myself today I could never be in love again      It ends like it begins   With a whimpering scream for clemency
