Apology |
| I remember everything |
| I’ve learned about survival |
| I’ve walked with fools and kings |
| And I’ve even read the Bible |
| There I came upon some lines |
| Givin' me direction |
| Gather not your gold on earth |
| Your kingdom is in heaven |
| But I chose to live instead |
| Inside the shell they gave me |
| 'Til in spite of everything |
| Good fortune came to find me |
| I tried my best to run away |
| But I could not avoid the feelin' |
| Soon I was reelin' on my feet |
| I made a grab at anything |
| The earth was gone and I was on |
| A vicious circle then |
| After I’d gone and let myself surrender |
| I didn’t want to die at all |
| I thought I’d live forever |
| Then she gave me everything |
| A king could never borrow |
| But I twisted all her gifts |
| Her wisdom was my sorrow |
| So I left her cryin' |
| And roamed across the river |
| The angels offered me their hands |
| But I could not forget her |
| So I came to where she was |
| By river, road and reason |
| I slept beneath her window |
| In the moonlight summer season |
| But I could not go inside |
| I heard the sound of laughter |
| And the rustle of her hair upon his skin |
| I made a grab at anything |
| The earth was gone and I was on |
| A vicious circle then |
| After I’d gone to cry down my sorrow |
| I didn’t want to live no more |
| Nor face the bright tomorrow |
| Then I remembered everything |
| I’ve learned about survival |
| Havin' walked with fools and kings |
| I’ve even read the Bible |
| I remember all those lines |
| Givin' me direction |
| Gather not your gold on earth |
| It will not pass inspection |
| And still I think when I’m alone |
| Away from all night splendor |
| If gold could buy one night with her |
| I wish I had some to send her |
