I Fought the Angels |
| Fought the angels here today |
| Hope |
| My defeat will end this play |
| Everybody knows that |
| I only have myself to blame |
| Everybody knows that |
| Softly, softly wins the game |
| Trust |
| I’ll try to learn again |
| My words |
| Are seldom for a friend |
| Knew |
| At the time that they came out |
| Wish |
| I could have them disallowed |
| Everybody knows that |
| We say things we do not mean |
| Everybody knows that |
| We say things that are unclean |
| Trust |
| I’ll try to learn again |
| My words |
| Are seldom for a friend |
| Run |
| Conversations in my head |
| Write |
| My own scripts to dish the dread |
| And if I speak out loud |
| I will have to change the rules |
| For speaking’s out of bounds |
| If it’s practised by a fool |
| Trust |
| I’ll try to learn again |
| My words |
| Are seldom for a friend |
| So lend me |
| An ear to lean upon |
| To speak to |
| And learn my speaking from |
