the unknown warriors - Thirty-Six Hours Lyrics

Why did you leave me
In the dark and alone
How could you deceive me
All this way from home?
What was on your mind
When you decided to pass
Even when you knew so well
That I'd got there at last?
Who did you think you were
And what gave you the right
To just throw me away
Out of mind, out of sight?
Yeah I was calling all night
Getting twisted and burned
I guess you laughed with your lover
At the sucker you spurned
Ah, you thought you were safe
Behind anonymous lines
A soft curtain of shame
To hide your selfish little mind
Play your come on, come and see me
Hop on the jumbo boy, you know you need me
Meet my mother see my friends have a party never ends
And you gave me
Thirty-six hours of desolation
Two days of total despair
Destroyed all the trust and the emotion
Till there was nothing to repair
What we'd built was a beautiful castle
Gleaming towers in the sky
But when the door was finally opened
You could only walk on by, only walk on by
So all those colours turned to grey
And the champagne was just rain
Didn't know what to think, didn't know what to say
Just stumbling and stupid, and back on the plane
No more hey babe when you coming
I've lost, and I'm going
Wiser, sadder, smiling through the pain
Richer, poorer, and never again, never again
But now I know who you are
And I know where you live
There's people closer to you than you think
Who've got plenty to give
I got no love, but I got money
You got none, you can't run little honey
And you said, save my life darling, da da da da da da
Well I'm going to trash your life darling, da da da ..
You gave me thirty-six hours of desolation
Two days of total despair
Destroyed all the trust and the emotion
Till there was nothing to repair
What we'd built was a beautiful castle
Gleaming towers in the sky
But when the door was finally opened
You could only walk on by, only walk on by
