gordon lightfoot - apology lyrics

Loading...

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 sh-ll 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 p-ss 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
