I’ve done some damage in my time
Not enough to make the news
But enough to make me cry
If that was you on the other side
Of all my thoughtless words and stupid things I did
I wish I could go back in time but instead
All I have is small
I’m sorry
When I came to that lonesome valley
I walked through and was unharmed
I wish I could say the same
For what I’ve done
Goddamn, how slow I learn
Goddamn, how slow we turn
I wish I’d known back then
What I know now
These are simple lessons
But somehow
They take so long
Sometimes I sit at my window
Make confession to an empty room
But some nights my heart is full and forgiving
Point me to the moon
I am walking home
To the other shore
Like a snail when the rains have come
