Gordon Lightfoot - Apology Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I remember everything
  • Ive learned about survival
  • Ive walked with fools and kings
  • And Ive 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 Id gone and let myself surrender
  • I didnt want to die at all
  • I thought Id 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 Id gone to cry down my sorrow
  • I didnt want to live no more
  • Nor face the bright tomorrow
  • Then I remembered everything
  • Ive learned about survival
  • Havin walked with fools and kings
  • Ive 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 Im alone
  • Away from all night splendor
  • If gold could buy one night with her
  • I wish I had some to send her
