[Verse]
Cruel mornings bite like the wind on my face
Summer lover left me without a trace
Counting cracks on the pavement where we stood
[Prechorus]
Your words like neon
They burned too bright
Faded fast in the city light
[Chorus]
Velvet shadows
You’re slipping away
Tangled in the night where the dreamers stay
Oh
Cruel
Cruel summer
You made me fall
But London boy
You gave me nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Rain-soaked streets
Your voice still lingers
Like cigarette smoke on my restless fingers
I chase your ghost through the underground haze
[Prechorus]
Your smile
A riddle I can’t decode
Fell for the glitter
Ignored the road
[Chorus]
Velvet shadows
You’re slipping away
Tangled in the night where the dreamers stay
Oh
Cruel
Cruel summer
You made me fall
But London boy
You gave me nothing at all
