Forgiveness

from Photographs of 1971 by Don DiLego

/

lyrics

Time on my hands
Praying like I’m born again
I can see all my friends
As they all pretend to smile

But I won’t wake up
Til I’ve had enough
Dreaming, and stealing away

Saying goodbye
Ain’t easy when there’s something to lose
So hello forgiveness
It’s warm in your lonely shoes

There’s a strawberry sun
That I’ve just begun to paint
The yellow is on
The loneliest ones I’ve saved

And there’s a ghost on fire
With eyes like mine
Still hoping for something great

Saying goodbye
Is easy when there’s nothing to lose
So hello forgiveness
It’s warm in your lonely shoes

Saying goodbye to reason
Ain’t easy when there’s something to lose
So hello forgiveness
Make room in your lonely shoes
