The World Is Cruel (Gethsemane Cut)

by Reece Sullivan

/

about

Recorded and scrapped as a demo from Gethsemane

lyrics

He sat alone, leaving on an evening train
He sat alone, leaving on an evening train
He sat and gazed out the smoky glass
Wondering where he
Wondering where he'd end up at last

He travelled far, way into the country side
he travelled far, way into the country side
To find his girl
Wherever she did abide
He travelled far, way into the country side

She was a girl a long way from her own homeland
She was a girl a long way from her own homeland
To anywhere in the world
To reunite with her man
She was a girl a long way from her own homeland

When her family did go she was forced to leave it all behind
When her family did go she was forced to leave it all behind
Since fate made it so
It'd been a long, long time
When her family did go she was forced to leave it all behind

He stepped off the train and put his feet onto a dusty road
He stepped off the train and put his feet onto a dusty road
He'd come back to find
The only love he'd known
He stepped off the train and put his feet onto a dusty road

Far and away; she was gone a long time ago
Far and away; she was gone a long time ago
For him to find
Though this he didn't know
Far and away; she was gone a long time ago

The world is cruel and no one really seems to care
The world is cruel and no one really seems to care
The thread on a spool
A little locket of hair
The world is cruel and no one really seems to care

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
