Jeff Buckley - The Man That Got Away

Jeff Buckley

The Man That Got Away

the night is bitter,
the stars have lost their glitter;
the winds grow colder
and suddenly you're older -
and all because of the man that got away.

no more his eager call,
the writing's on the wall;
the dreams you dreamed have all
gone astray.

the man that won you
has gone off and undone you.
that great beginning
has seen the final inning.
don't know what happened. it's all a crazy game!

no more that all-time thrill,
for you've been through the mill -
and never a new love will
be the same.

good riddance, good-bye!
ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
but, fools will be fools -
and where's he gone to?

the road gets rougher,
it's lonelier and tougher.
with hope you burn up -
tomorrow he may turn up.
there's just no letup the live-long night and day!

ever since this world began
there is nothing sadder than
a one-man woman looking for
the man that got away....
the man that got away.

Mirror lyrics:

the man that got away.
the man that got away....
a one-man woman looking for
there is nothing sadder than
ever since this world began

there's just no letup the live-long night and day!
tomorrow he may turn up.
with hope you burn up -
it's lonelier and tougher.
the road gets rougher,

and where's he gone to?
but, fools will be fools -
ev'ry trick of his you're on to.
good riddance, good-bye!

be the same.
and never a new love will
for you've been through the mill -
no more that all-time thrill,

don't know what happened. it's all a crazy game!
has seen the final inning.
that great beginning
has gone off and undone you.
the man that won you

gone astray.
the dreams you dreamed have all
the writing's on the wall;
no more his eager call,

and all because of the man that got away.
and suddenly you're older -
the winds grow colder
the stars have lost their glitter;
the night is bitter,
