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 
Fell under your spell 
Some fell into heaven 
But most fell back in to hell 
The beauty forgotten 
Like the snow-covered crops in the 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 
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 
I still care
