[00:00.76]Lyrics by:Daniel Lanois
[00:01.44]Composed by:Daniel Lanois
[00:24.58]Cruel cruel world must I go on
[00:30.33]Cruel cruel world I'm moving on
[00:35.61]I've been living too fast
[00:38.54]I've been living too wrong
[00:42.07]Cruel cruel world I'm gone
[00:46.83]This big old world sure got me running 'round
[00:53.62]I heard a voice it told me settle down
[00:58.90]And with the moonlight as my guide
[01:01.89]And with this feeling deep inside
[01:04.79]I know now that I'm homeward bound
[01:10.67]And as I wander through the pines the whisperings they tell
[01:16.81]Of the many before me who tried and fell
[01:22.34]Seeking fortune and ways
[01:25.59]To get to glory days
[01:28.31]Looking for a place in this old world
[01:34.78]Cruel cruel world must I go on
[01:40.57]Cruel cruel world I'm moving on
[01:45.81]I've been living too fast
[01:48.75]I've been living too wrong
[01:52.35]Cruel cruel world I'm gone
[02:20.82]Desert roads desert plains
[02:27.47]I have seen so much pain
[02:32.69]Now I see into the eyes of a girl
[02:38.71]No more no more cruel world
[02:44.03]On a dusty trail I saw vapour light
[02:50.02]Was it a mirage
[02:51.89]Don't know but it seemed right
[02:55.86]I felt mission I felt trust
[02:58.82]I knew then that I must
[03:01.91]Go to her away from this cruel world
[03:08.47]Cruel cruel world must I go on
[03:14.24]Cruel cruel world I'm moving on
[03:19.51]I've been living too fast
[03:22.45]I've been living too wrong
[03:25.90]Cruel cruel world I'm gone
[03:31.84]Cruel cruel world I'm gone
