Song - Apology Song
Verse 1:
I m really sorry Steven
But your bicycle s been stolen
I was watchin it for you
Til you came back in the fall
Guess I didn t do such a good job after all
Verse 2:
I was feeling really sorry Steven
And I spent all morning grieving
And everybody s saying
That you ll take the news gracefully
Somehow I don t think I ll be getting off that easily
Chorus 1:
I meant her no harm
When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm
I was just running in
Didn t think I d be that long
I came out, she was gone
And all that was there was some bored old dog
Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been
Guess we ll never see poor Madeleine again
Verse 3 (match verse 1 for chords):
Let this be consolation, Steven
That all the while you were in England
I treated her with care and respect
And have her lots of love
And I was usually pretty good bout locking her up
Chorus 2 (match chorus 2 for chords):
Where has she gone?
Well, I bet she s on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond
Rudely abused on some hescher s joyride
So I wrote you this song
In the hopes that you d forgive me
Even though it was wrong
Being so careless with a thing so great
And taking your poor Madeleine away, away
