Paul Weinfield - Cruel April.m4v

CRUEL APRIL//
From "In the Twilight" (2008)//
Written and performed by Paul Weinfield//

Oh, cruel April, Im not coming out to play anymore.
Dont shine your light through my window.
Dont you come around my front door.
Because Ive seen you change your mind so many times before.
Oh, cruel April, Im not coming out to play anymore.

Oh, cruel April, for your glory I have given sweat and toil.
Ive gotten down on my knees
and planted flowers for you in the soil.
But you laid hold of them and you tore them from the stem till they were spoiled.
Oh, cruel April, for your glory I have given sweat and toil.

Year after year, its always the same
over and over and over again.
Sowing love and reaping pain
over and over and over again.
Young hopes dying in the freezing rain
over and over and over again.
Over and over its all in vain
over and over and again and again and again.

Oh, cruel April, you make me feel so very old
when the springtime brings new lovers
and they walk down the same streets I once strolled.
Theyre seeking warmth in one another,
but I can see that the evenings getting cold.
Oh, cruel April, you make me feel so very old.

Love after love, its always the same
over and over and over again.
Sowing love and reaping pain
over and over and over again.
Young hopes dying in the freezing rain
over and over and over again.
Over and over its all in vain
over and over again and again and again.//
