I have erred in my ways

I have failed in my judgment

I have fallen to the depths of despair

Embraced the world in which we wonder

Then sought a moment’s calm

(This has come & gone)

Night & day: some things stay

(Some things slip away)

I’m over the moon for you

Talk to stars about you

And they answer back to me

Girl’ he’s gonna set you free

I could tolerate my time

If I just knew how to spend it

Since I know it is no longer yours

This world from which I am ejected

Spins around in front of me

In its’ impossibility

Night and day, some things stay

Some things slip away
