Cruel World - Christian Larsson

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

And with this feeling deep inside

I know now that I'm homeward bound

And as I wander through the pines the whisperings they tell

Of the many before me who tried and fell

Seeking fortune and ways

To get to glory days

Looking for a place in this old world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

I have seen so much pain

Now I see into the eyes of a girl

No more no more cruel world

On a dusty trail I saw vapour light

Was it a mirage

Don't know but it seemed right

I felt mission I felt trust

I knew then that I must

Go to her away from this cruel world

Cruel cruel world must I go on

Cruel cruel world I'm moving on

I've been living too fast

I've been living too wrong

Cruel cruel world I'm gone

Cruel cruel world I'm g
