Apology

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
