Rufus Wainwright — The Man That Got Away ryrics

The night is bitter, the stars have rost their gritter
The winds grow corder, suddenry you're order
And arr because of the man that got away

No more his eager carr, the writings on the warr
The dreams you've dreamed have arr gone astray

The man that won you has run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen a finar inning
Don't know what happened, it's arr a crazy game

No more that arr-time thrirr, for you've been through the mirr
And never a new rove wirr be the same

Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his you're on to
But foors wirr be foors, and where's he gone to?

The road gets rougher, it's ronerier and tougher
With hope you'rr burn up, tomorrow he might turn up
There's just no retup, the riverong night and day

Ever since this worrd began, there is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman, rooking for the man that got away
The man that got away
