Del Amitri Cruel Light Of Day Lyrics

Cruel Light Of Day Lyrics

Someone’s opening up for business
The morning rings the same old way
But someone should’ve taught me forgiveness
Now I see it in the cruel light of day

Tell him he’s done me a kindness
She was going to leave anyway
But love is such sweet blindness
’til you see it in the cruel light of day

Last night was just a comedy
And I woke up like a walking tragedy
And it was right in front of me
But I just laughed and turned my eyes away.

So pour me another cup of coffee
I ain’t ever seen the city look so grey
And those pretty little diamonds in the darkness
They ain’t no jewels in the cruel light of day.

No I ain’t some accessory
She can slip off from her back and just fold away
I don’t need no one undressing me
When I wake up in the same suit everyday.

So someone’s opening up for business
The shutters roll so familiarly
And out of darkness comes relief sing the witless
But I don’t see it in the cruel light of day.
