Like a drunk in a midnight choir
Like a beast with his horn
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
It was never to you
If I have been untrue
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
She cried out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
I have tried in my way to be free
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
If I, if I have been unkind
But I swear by this song
I'll make it all up to thee
Like a baby stillborn
And by all that I have done wrong
If I have been untrue
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
I hope, you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been unkind
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much"
I hope you know it was never to you
Like a worm on a hook
Like a bird on a wire
I hope, you can just let it go by
