(Mark Klingman)
|
Today I was gonna conquer the world,
|
Go on ahead and make a stand.
|
Today I saw an old friend a dyin'
|
And as he lay there no one lent a hand,
|
I'm gonna call you up,
|
You'll forsake the one you love,
|
Though I've left you many times before -
|
You are just a sinner.
|
|
I was the one who understands,
|
You were my one and only man.
|
I was lost, now I'm the winner.
|
You stand there waitin' by the shore,
|
But I don't come that way no more,
|
Because you are just a sinner.
|
|
Today I was gonna hold out my hand,
|
Reach up for that light and let it shine.
|
Today I have no light to guide me
|
Feelin' like the one they left behind,
|
So I called you up,
|
You left your love and took me away,
|
Though I've left you many times before-
|
You are just a sinner.
|
|
I am the only one, you see,
|
You were the only one for me,
|
I was lost, now I'm the winner.
|
You'll keep the candle burning bright,
|
But I won't be home tonight,
|
Because you are just a sinner.
|
|
Today I was gonna conquer the world,
|
Go on ahead and make a stand.
|
Today I saw an old friend a dyin',
|
And as he lay there, no one lent a hand.
