(Dan Messe)
|
|
When I saw him by the river
|
He just smiled and closed his eyes
|
He said you know that you've got to give her
|
One more chance - one more lie
|
|
I didn't see him for a while then
|
But I heard his name around
|
So I walked a hundred miles when
|
On that iron bridge it was him I found
|
|
He said you know that I have wandered
|
By these blood stains on my feet
|
For all the presents that I have squandered
|
On every false heart that I meet
|
|
But I can't take back what I gave them
|
No, I can't make right what I've made wrong
|
I can't pretend that I tried to save them
|
When they were drowning in my song
|
|
So I don't come here for a new scar
|
For to cover the things that I have done
|
No, I just come here to see how you are
|
Maybe see how I've become
|
|
Well he just lay there on that iron bridge
|
Kicking rust off and pulling it apart
|
He said hello there ain't you gonna give
|
