Gabriel's Letter/My First Woman
I'm sorry to hear they've taken you away
I'm sure you're innocent
You're such a good man
You must be innocent
And I'm sorry if I've never told you
How grateful I am
For the movies, the talks, and the books
The gifts to my wife and newborn child
I am truly sorry
And, finally, I'm sorry for any pain I may have caused you
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
What a strange thing to be sorry for
But that's the way it is, isn't it?
I'm sorry, simply sorry!
My first woman, I remember my first woman
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos
There on the gravel
Down on her knees
What did she look like?
Probably plain
Who can remember?
But to me she was the keeper of all mystery
And, finally, I'm sorry
For any pain I may have caused you
My first woman
I remember my first woman
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos (I'm sorry)
There on the gravel (What a strange thing)
(To be sorry for) Down on her knees
(But that's the way it is, isn't it?) What did she look like?
Probably plain
I'm sorry, simply sorry! (But to me she was the keeper of all mystery)
Your friend, Gabriel (Mystery)
I'm sure you're innocent
You're such a good man
You must be innocent
And I'm sorry if I've never told you
How grateful I am
For the movies, the talks, and the books
The gifts to my wife and newborn child
I am truly sorry
And, finally, I'm sorry for any pain I may have caused you
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
What a strange thing to be sorry for
But that's the way it is, isn't it?
I'm sorry, simply sorry!
My first woman, I remember my first woman
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos
There on the gravel
Down on her knees
What did she look like?
Probably plain
Who can remember?
But to me she was the keeper of all mystery
And, finally, I'm sorry
For any pain I may have caused you
My first woman
I remember my first woman
I know what you wanted of me
But I'm just not that way
Back of a building
Me and my friends
A couple of pesos (I'm sorry)
There on the gravel (What a strange thing)
(To be sorry for) Down on her knees
(But that's the way it is, isn't it?) What did she look like?
Probably plain
I'm sorry, simply sorry! (But to me she was the keeper of all mystery)
Your friend, Gabriel (Mystery)
