Lyrics: Sorry
Flowers in my garden
Die faster than they grow
Slowly as they wither
I reap the seeds I sow
I have felt the wind blow
Like fire and like snow
But only shame can conquer time
And guilt should know
Be wise enough to wonder
Be brave and let it go
Nothing’s everlasting
Have mercy on my soul
Wrong wind told the right way
Might make you string your bow
When all these clouds are full of sin
And rain should know
Heaven keep the lonely
You are not the only...
No rest for the wicked
Seek and you will find
Silence is the symphony
I trust and keep in mind
Shadows have the habit
Of making demons glow
And all these clouds are full of sin
And rain should know
Heaven keep the lonely
I am not the only...
Have these leaves of gold
Give me back my soul
I know
No matter what
I can’t stay on my knees
Heaven help me please
I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now
Like tears from a nice silence, I, I
I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now
Like tears from a nice silence I cry
