When I saw him by the river He just smiled and closed his eyes He said you know that you\'ve got to give her One more chance - one more lie
I didn\'t see him for a while then But I heard his name around So I walked a hundred miles when On that iron bridge it was him I found
He said you know that I have wandered By these blood stains on my feet For all the presents that I have squandered On every false heart that I meet
But I can\'t take back what I gave them No, I can\'t make right what I\'ve made wrong I can\'t pretend that I tried to save them When they were drowning in my song
So I don\'t come here for a new scar For to cover the things that I have done No, I just come here to see how you are Maybe see how I\'ve become
