Cruel Alibis
VERSE 1
Packing all my possessions
cause I'm leaving here tonight
and the change in my own reflection
I can hardly recognise

CHORUS
I've made my choices
Gotta leave you behind
(hear) the high lonesome voices
whisper cruel alibis
VERSE 2
we used to dance together
in the kitchen late at night
and walk in the stormy weather
soaking wet but didn't mind

VERSE 3
your skin was as soft as velvet
my heartbeat fast as a train
the ice in my whiskey has melted
like the burning sugar cane

CHORUS

VERSE 4
There's so many turns for the taking
and such little precious time
to get to our destination
taking caution to arrive

VERSE 5
as the shadows creep upon us
there's only so much light today
the love we once shared has broken
but our memories remain
