Cruel - Thomas Dolby, Eddie Reader

Cruel — what a thing to do

I’ve been cruel to you such a long time

And how can I hide my shame

'Cause there I go again

At the wrong time

And I know that it was just the fear of flying

And I know it’s hard to keep myself from crying

But when my tears are washed away

You’ll still be blind

Skin-diving

For jewels

You were a shining pearl

In a broken shell

Under moonlight

And I was cruel

And I know that it was just the fear of flying

And I know it’s hard to keep myself from crying

But when my tears are washed away

You’ll still be blind

Skin-diving

For jewels

Cruel — I’ve been such a fool

And I’ll be missing you

Such a long time

I was cruel
