A full recording of the original ballad from my 2001 acoustic album 'Here I Am'. Always wanted that album recorded as full arrangements, and this was the first of them to be done as I started getting some idea of arrangement and instrumentation. Well, at least I think I was anyway... Haha!

lyrics

Lyrics:

If you think you’re right check again.
There’s always ones who fall, they’re the ones who never heard.
With every day, every twist of fate,
There’s always lessons to be learned.
You go through your life like it owes you a favour.
Your favours were used up long ago,
And don’t pretend that you don’t know.

Why do you go through your life taking your love for a ride.
One day you’ll turn around and she won’t be behind.
She’ll come back once or twice but not for the last time.

Don’t Cry Wolf
She’s never coming back.
You tried to twist her round your finger but she’s wiser than that.
You’re playing with her heart and messing with her mind.
Too many times you cried wolf and now you cry.

You can go through life on a wing and a prayer.
You meet people and call them friends but they never really care.
As the closing years approach you realise you don’t really know
Anything that means anything.
But your everyday is exactly the same as your love-life.
You don’t value women to make them wives and don’t pretend that you do.

Why do you go through your life taking your love for a ride.
One day you’ll turn around and she won’t be behind.
She’ll come back once or twice but not for the last time.

Don’t Cry Wolf
She’s never coming back.
You tried to twist her round your finger but she’s wiser than that.
You’re playing with her heart and messing with her mind.
Too many times you cried wolf and now you cry.

Don’t Cry Wolf

The honour of creating a soundtrack to moment or memory is one I hope to achieve with you somewhere here in these 13 albums. I've enjoyed living all of them. I hope you will as well. Much love.
