Forgiveness Songtext
von Tim Rogers

While I′ve waited for you

To forgive me
I've contributed to society
The fiduciary woes
Of the taverns we′ve known
Are buoyed by my desperate
Need to disclose
The conduit of libation

My investment
To conduct myself worthy
Of your reassessment
I furnish this culture
I repay my debt
I punish the ear of this fool
I've only just met


So sure I've got my windmills
But so did Don Quixote
Damn the medical pamphlets
I′ll burn tomorrow
Tonight I′ll pace the room
From skin to spine
And I'll work it
Until my soul is rinsed dry
I′ve failed you
I will pay my dues

Please forgive me
Forgive me

Please forgive me

So I smile at the lonely
I dress to bring cheer
At the risk of ejection
Being adroitly queer
But you've turned your cheek from me
And I must atone
Oh, my singular intent
Was taking you home
I adored you

The rest don′t make sense
That this wicked pulse in me
Has caused such offence
I've written bullshit songs
Expressing my grief
That will surely bring comfort

To surly teenagers in need


So sure I′ve got my windmills
But so did Don Quixote
Damn those medical pamphlets
I'll burn tomorrow

Tonight I'll be the guy
In you am I
And I′ll work it
Until my soul is rinsed dry
I′ve failed you
I will pay my dues
Please forgive me
Oh, forgive me
Please forgive me

Oh, forgive me

I've failed you
I will pay my dues
Please forgive me
