Lyrics The Style Council

The Style Council

Boy Who Cried Wolf

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 and I've lost this time

Like the boy who cried wolf

Like the boy who cried wolf

An' yes I know it's far too late

To ever win you back

No tales 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

When it seems I need you more each day

Heaven knows why that it goes that way

And now it's far too late and I've lost this time

Like the boy who cried wolf

Like the boy who cried wolf

Like the boy who cried wolf

[Incomprehensible]

And asked me whose tears fell down

[Incomprehensible]

Now like a fool I'm frozen in time
