Видео: Gordon Lightfoot - Apology

I remember everything
I`ve learned about survival
I`ve walked with fools and kings
And I`ve even read the Bible

There I came upon some lines
Givin` me direction
Gather not your gold on earth
Your kingdom is in heaven

But I chose to live instead
Inside the shell they gave me
`Til in spite of everything
Good fortune came to find me

I tried my best to run away
But I could not avoid the feelin`
Soon I was reelin` on my feet
I made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then

After I`d gone and let myself surrender
I didn`t want to die at all
I thought I`d live forever

Then she gave me everything
A king could never borrow
But I twisted all her gifts
Her wisdom was my sorrow

So I left her cryin`
And roamed across the river
The angels offered me their hands
But I could not forget her

So I came to where she was
By river, road and reason
I slept beneath her window
In the moonlight summer season

But I could not go inside
I heard the sound of laughter
And the rustle of her hair upon his skin
I made a grab at anything
The earth was gone and I was on
A vicious circle then

After I`d gone to cry down my sorrow
I didn`t want to live no more
Nor face the bright tomorrow

Then I remembered everything
I`ve learned about survival
Havin` walked with fools and kings
I`ve even read the Bible

I remember all those lines
Givin` me direction
Gather not your gold on earth
It will not pass inspection

And still I think when I`m alone
Away from all night splendor
If gold could buy one night with her
I wish I had some to send her
