Forgiveness Song Songtext
von The Walkabouts

Bang out the night song on an old kettle drum
Don′t ask for no ransom, an't payin you none
Ground to a halt with suspicion for all
You said, "Watch me fly"

I suppose that you′re gone but I don't care to look
Don't give me truth, give me shackles
Bang out the night song from deep in my chest
Are you listening?

But last night (oh, last night)
Late last night (late last night)
Last night, you were forgiveness

And last night (well, last night)
Late last night (late last night)
Last night you were the end

Walked to the dawn along misery′s mile
Stopped under a streetlight and burned off my smile
Trust was your mirror and trust was your fool
Are you listenin′?


And now that I'm gone, give the tears to your friends
I′ll take what I'm due, then I′ll strangle
Bang out the night song, you can beat it to death
You can watch me fly

But last night (oh, last night)
Late last night (late last night)
Last night you were forgiveness

And last night (oh, last night)
Late last night (late last night)
Last night you were the end

Raisin' my spirits (my head on the floor)
Well, I turned around fast (walkin′ back to your door)
This run of bad luck stuck like sleep in your eyes
Couldn't see a thing

But last night, late last night
Last night, you were forgiveness
And last night, late last night
Last night you were the end

I'm comin′ back to you, no religion to sell
Bang out the night song, ain′t stuck in this hell
Oh, last night, late last night
Last night you were forgiven
