Apology (Live) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]
I remember everything[00:00:10]
I've learned about survival[00:00:14]
I've walked with fools and kings[00:00:19]
And I've even read the bible[00:00:23]
There I came upon some lines[00:00:29]
Givin' me direction[00:00:33]
Gather not your gold on earth[00:00:38]
Your kingdom is in heaven[00:00:41]
But I chose to live instead[00:00:47]
Inside the shell they gave me[00:00:51]
'Til in spite of everything[00:00:56]
Good fortune came to find me[00:01:00]
I tried my best to run away[00:01:04]
But I can not avoid the feelin'[00:01:07]
Soon I was reelin' on my feet[00:01:09]
I made a grab at anything[00:01:13]
The earth was gone and I was on[00:01:16]
A vicious circle then[00:01:18]
After I'd gone and let myself surrender[00:01:23]
I didn't want to die at all[00:01:31]
I thought I'd live forever[00:01:35]
Then she gave me everything[00:01:40]
A king could never borrow[00:01:44]
But I twisted all her gifts[00:01:50]
Her wisdom was my sorrow[00:01:53]
So I left her cryin'[00:01:59]
And roamed across the river[00:02:03]
The angels offered me their hands[00:02:08]
But I could not forget her[00:02:12]
So I came to where she was[00:02:17]
Will by river road and reason[00:02:21]
I slept beneath her window[00:02:27]
In the moonlight summer season[00:02:30]
But I could not go inside[00:02:35]
I heard the sound of laughter[00:02:37]
And the rustle of her hair upon his skin[00:02:39]
I made a grab at anything[00:02:44]
The earth was gone and I was on[00:02:46]
A vicious circle then[00:02:49]
After I'd gone to cry down my sorrow[00:02:54]
I didn't want to live no more[00:03:02]
Nor face the bright tomorrow[00:03:06]
Then I remembered everything[00:03:11]
I've learned about survival[00:03:15]
Havin' walked with fools and kings[00:03:21]
I've even read the bible[00:03:24]
I remember all those lines[00:03:29]
Givin' me direction[00:03:34]
Gather not your gold on earth[00:03:39]
It will not pass inspection[00:03:42]
And still I think when I'm alone[00:03:48]
Away from all night splendor[00:03:52]
If gold could buy one night with her[00:03:57]
I wish I had some to send her[00:04:01]
