Lyrics

Forgive Me

Wind was blowing sand
all the way to Abilene
used to be our town
I heard you?re still here
and all the lies I told you are like
signposts on the road
I have seen your eyes in a hundred dreams
sometimes trusting sometimes full of tears
I?ve come to beg one thing
and then I?ll go

Chorus:
Forgive me
It hits me hard on the streets of Abilene
the things I?ve done I can?t undo
and the best I can say is can you
Forgive me

Wind is blowing snow
falling soft on every block
I stop at our old house
the echo of my knock
no one home but memories
that go with me down the street
light shines from a church through an open door
I?ve spent my chances ?til there are no more
can?t give you back your years
or take your grief

(repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
here in the cold I can hear them pray
I?d give all I have to make it up some way
people come out and I turn away
then in the crowd I see your face
I hear my name
(repeat Chorus minus line 2)
