Lyrics Pandora's Box - Tom Paxton

Pandora's Box

Night passed so slowly
All the dreams were bad
Pandora’s box fell down
It broke open
All of my memories
Bound to make me sad
I heard every unkind word I’d spoken
Hard though I tried
I couldn’t get myself awake
Hard though I cried
I would remember each mistake
Prayin' for sunrise
Prayers were all I had
Prayers and all the promises I’d broken
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
How can I make it
Feelin' this a-way
Not at all convinced
To go on living
No place to go to
No excuse to stay
One more soul in bad need of forgiving
Hard though I tried
I couldn’t get myself awake
Hard though I cried
I would remember each mistake
Hangin' on till sunrise
Livin' day by day
Prayin' for grace and faced with a need for living
Hangin' on till sunrise
Livin' day by day
Prayin' for grace and faced with a need for living
