Blue Rodeo - Tired Of Pretending Lyrics

You have never tried
To conceal or deny
That this love is my ruin
My peril and trial

All of the promises
Were nothing but lies
But now that you're here
Why don't you stay for a while

Most of my friends
Fallen under your spell
Some fell into heaven
But most fell back into hell

The beauty forgotten
Like the snow-covered crops in the field
Where the wind knows no mercy
She howls and she reels

But I'm tired of pretending
Yes, I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
Yeah, I still care

And the smoke curls like a river
To some forgotten land
Floating abandoned
The mystery concealed

Like the moonlit shadows
On a snow-covered field
Where the wind knows no mercy
And she howls and she reels

But I'm tired of pretending
Yes, I'm tired of pretending
That I still care
Yes, I still care
