Lyrics Edie Brickell and New Bohemians

Edie Brickell and New Bohemians

Forgiven

Way back when we were young

We're still the same here now under the sun

Basket full of Easter grass

A little boy runs across the path to find

Mercy in the hearts of souls

Who never had no mercy shown to them

Will you please forgive me

I want to be forgiven

A vacant engineer rides on a train

Of thought that will now take him home

And waving from the windows is the innocence

That has no place to go

A boomerang of birds flies high

Over your head and I look to the sky

Will you please forgive me

I want to be forgiven

Given another chance to show you I love

Another chance to show you I feel

Another chance to show you I love

Another chance to show you I feel

Here I am like I always was

Here I am like I'll always be

Here I am like I always was

Here I am like I'll always be

Forgiven
