Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
I'm fancy free darlin'
And I've travelled round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Tell me where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
My thoughts are lost in memories
That keep me free
Know if all the stars were shining
They would not help me see
Don't you know that
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
You cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Well my life isn't easy
And my love never seems to last
So I'll keep on carrying on darlin'
I'll just keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
And I'm still fancy free
And I keep travellin' round
Sometimes I'm up
Most times I'm down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
