The Man That Got Away Lyrics - Rufus Does Judy At Carnegie Hall - Rufus Wainwright

The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter 

The winds grow colder, suddenly you're older 

And all because of The Man That Got Away 

No more his eager call, the writings on the wall 

The dreams you've dreamed have all gone astray 

The man that won you has run off and undone you 

That great beginning has seen a 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, goodbye 

Every 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'll burn up, tomorrow he might turn up 

There's just no letup, the livelong night and day
