Sorry to Say

Simple songs
Simple chords
It's all I wanna hear
Families singing
Sunshine shining
The highest time of the year

I want to know it
How lonely the road gets
For the old balladeer
But I can't show it
Something's not flowing
I feel like I've disappeared

And I'm so sorry to say
I'll be going away
Someday soon
This is not on you
You've been straight and true
I do not look for another

It's just that there's
A forward path
Formed by faces
I feel fated to take
Friends and lovers
Strangers and others
The lane of the Rubes and the Rakes
Somehow I know
I need to go it alone
And carve out my own way!

And I'm so sorry to say
I'll be going away
Someday soon
This is not on you
You've been straight and true
I do not look for another

It's just that I'm bound
For the unknown waters
Where I will drown my sorrows deep
I will get down to the soul of the matter
And mend it while I sleep

(I need)
Simple songs
Simple chords
With spirit in the air
Carrying on and singing along
With the one red rose in her hair

We're drunks in the choir
For bird on a wire
And the fiddle's on fire again!
To live is to fly
So live and let die
We can deal with time tomorrow

And I'm so sorry to say
I'll be going away
Someday soon
