Gordon Lightfoot - Apology - Sözleri

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
