Gravestone
Did you forgive them
All those bad men?
It's the Christian thing to do
Seen from a distance
I was a child then
When I met you
I thought I was grown
I thought I was old enough to know better
Now I know better I suppose
There's no gravestone
Where we lay ourselves to rest
Just an unwalked road
If you'd ever asked me I'd have said, "yes"
But you never did
And maybe that was best - I was just a kid
But there's no gravestone
Just one more thing left to forgive
If you haven't yet
I towed the line
Hoping to find the right words
While I rehearsed you made up your mind
I thought I could climb
Over the walls you built til I realised
You wanted this to die
There's no gravestone
Where we lay ourselves to rest
Just an unwalked road
If you'd ever asked me I'd have said, "yes"
But you never did
And maybe that was best - to bury it
But there's no gravestone
Just one more thing left to forgive
If love is all we carry
Then why are my hands still carried in blood?
Once I thought we'd be married
So I was young but what's become of us?
I'm no good at secrets
I've tried hard to live without regrets
After all of the weepin
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Forgiven yet
Forgiven yet
Are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Forgiven yet
Forgiven yet
Are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
All those bad men?
It's the Christian thing to do
Seen from a distance
I was a child then
When I met you
I thought I was grown
I thought I was old enough to know better
Now I know better I suppose
There's no gravestone
Where we lay ourselves to rest
Just an unwalked road
If you'd ever asked me I'd have said, "yes"
But you never did
And maybe that was best - I was just a kid
But there's no gravestone
Just one more thing left to forgive
If you haven't yet
I towed the line
Hoping to find the right words
While I rehearsed you made up your mind
I thought I could climb
Over the walls you built til I realised
You wanted this to die
There's no gravestone
Where we lay ourselves to rest
Just an unwalked road
If you'd ever asked me I'd have said, "yes"
But you never did
And maybe that was best - to bury it
But there's no gravestone
Just one more thing left to forgive
If love is all we carry
Then why are my hands still carried in blood?
Once I thought we'd be married
So I was young but what's become of us?
I'm no good at secrets
I've tried hard to live without regrets
After all of the weepin
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Forgiven yet
Forgiven yet
Are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Forgiven yet
Forgiven yet
Are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
Ask your heart, are we forgiven yet?
