Liricí AmhránSong Lyrics

Sorry

Written by Karine Polwart

English
When your time on the mountain is over
And you fall to the earth like a leaf
It won't be enough these days to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this grief
 
Chorus:
You may lay down your guilt on the altar
And nail your remorse to the cross
But it's not enough these days to say sorry
Sorry won't pay for this loss
 
And if the blood on your hands turns to water
And the night in your soul turns to day
It won't be enough this time to say sorry
Sorry won't wash it all away
 
Chorus
 
And when you're through with the spells you've been spinning
And your hopes and your dreams have all died
It won't be enough these days to say sorry
Sorry won't turn back the tide
 
Chorus
 
And if you should desist from deceiving
And if you should confess to the crime
It won't be enough these days to say sorry
Sorry won't save you this time
 
Chorus 2x
