(Michael Gordon - James Griffin)
In the fury of the moment
When the words of rath rang out
When my mind was filled with questions
And my head was filled with doubt/
I can still see all the sadness
And the sorrow in your eyes
How can flowers live in darkness
How can I apologize?
For the blackness I`ve created
In the world that used to shine
I`ve wilted all the roses
And I`ve spoiled all the wine.
Get out your magic pencil
And erase the cloudy skies
Draw a picture of me
Saying I apologize.
Give me back the words
I spoke in haste
Give `em back or love will go to waste
Give `em back.
--- Instrumental ---
See the sunlight reappearing
Through the shrouds of darkened gloom
As I hear your words forgiving me
And watch the flowers bloom.
Have your arms refused to open
Have you served all your ties
I`d still be on my knees
Saying I apologize.
Give me back the words
I spoke in haste
Give `em back or love will go to waste
Give `em back...
