CRUEL AS APRIL
Lyrics Copyright 2007 by Z. Mulls
(v1)
Why'd you have to smile like that?
Why'd you have to drape your hand on my arm
Like it was nothing
Your hand was warm
And something starts stirring in the dormant soil
Flickers of life that start to grow disloyal
When the healing rains begin, where do we hide?
(chorus)
I had forgotten the feel of the sun
I didn't realize that winter had done
And suddenly you're the one
But you're almost as cruel as April
(v2)
Watching out the corner of my eye
You finished every drop of the drink I mixed
Like it was nothing
And licked your lips
And water starts flowing in the frozen streams
Melting the ice that covered up my dreams
Thawing out a thought I've always denied
(chorus)
I had forgotten the feel of the sun
I didn't realize that winter had done
And suddenly you're the one
But you're almost as cruel as April
(bridge)
I'm sick of reading poems 'bout memory and desire
January February March and I'm barely here
Getting through the winter I thought I was a survivor
But now I have to get through the rest of the year
(chorus)
I had forgotten the feel of the sun
I didn't realize that winter had done
And suddenly you're the one
But you're almost as cruel as April
