Cruel and Gentle Things

In the wind the branches sway

In our lives the tragedy plays

Like this wind that blows our way

So to these dithering days

But it's ordinary, temporary

Love's a very,

Cruel and gentle thing

In the car she's driving slow

With a wounded heart she rolls

In the car she's feeling numb

But she's not the only one

You can rely on, it won't deny you

Love will provide you

Cruel and gentle things

Somewhere inside the hollow places

The scars beneath, the pretty faces

The joy and sorrow that it brings

We can't help but crave

These cruel and gentle things

We can't help but crave

These cruel and gentle things

In the wind the branches sway
