"The Things I Say" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
verse 1
If I have the space of half a day,
I'm ashamed of half the things I say.
I'm ashamed to have turned out this way,
And I desire to make amends:

verse 2
But it don't make no difference, now,
And no-one's listening, anyhow,
And lists of sins and solemn vows
Don't make you any friends.

verse 3
There's an old trick played,
When the light and the wine conspire
To make me think I'm fine.
I'm not, but I have got half a mind
To maybe get there, yet.

verse 4
When the sky goes pink in Paris, France,
Do you think of the girl who used to dance
When you'd frame her moving within your hands,
Saying This I won't forget?

verse 5
What happened to the man you were,
When you loved somebody before her?
Did he die?
Or does that man endure, somewhere far away?

verse 6
Our lived come easy and our lives come hard.
We carry them like a pack of cards:
Some we don't use, but we don't discard,
But keep for a rainy day.
