What can I do I look for you I lose my way again The sheets are damp The darkness spreads like a stain on the bed I walk the floor I close the door I lock myself up again I find a way to get along for one more day
I'll forgive you and I'll forget you
Outside a car alarm is wailing incessantly Someone is slumped against the stairs looking up at me The sirens call, I hit the wall I tie myself down again I want to fly away
I'll forgive you and I'll forget you
The silent birds observe as the traffic light changes idly I wait for the street machine to sweep you back inside me
I'll forgive you and I'll forget you
I jerk awake from the distant isle of sleep Dawn cracks, there's a hard light in place of your dreaming face I thought you'd always be here I thought I'd always have you near
