The Present |
| When I saw him by the river |
| He just smiled and closed his eyes |
| He said you know that you’re gonna give her |
| One more present — one more lie |
| I didn’t see him for a while then |
| Though I heard his name around |
| So I walked down a hundred miles when |
| On that Iron Bridge it was him I found |
| I said you know that I have wandered |
| By the dust here on my feet |
| For every present that I have squandered |
| On every false heart that I meet |
| But I can’t take back what I gave them |
| No, I can’t make right what I’ve made wrong |
| I can’t pretend that I tried to save them |
| When they were drowning in my song |
| So I don’t come here for a new scar |
| For to cover the things I’ve done |
| I just come here to see how you are |
| Maybe see how I’ve become |
| Well he lay there on that Iron Bridge |
| Where the Earth and the waters part |
| He said Hello there well ain’t you gonna give |
