The Present (burying Songs Cycle Version) lyrics
(Dan Messe)
When I saw him by the river
He just smiled and closed his eyes
He said you know that you've got to give her
One more chance - one more lie
I didn't see him for a while then
But I heard his name around
So I walked a hundred miles when
On that iron bridge it was him I found
He said you know that I have wandered
By these blood stains on my feet
For all the presents that I have squandered
On every false heart that I meet
But I can't take back what I gave them
No, I can't make right what I've made wrong
I can't pretend that I tried to save them
When they were drowning in my song
So I don't come here for a new scar
For to cover the things that I have done
No, I just come here to see how you are
Maybe see how I've become
Well he just lay there on that iron bridge
Kicking rust off and pulling it apart
He said hello there ain't you gonna give
