Lyrics
I wrote it on the back of a receipt I folded it in half and then in half The porch light hums, the street is wet and sweet I keep on standing here, I cannot laugh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left it on the doorstep in the rain I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Say nothing, just take it in again I said the words too sharp the other night They rang inside the kitchen like a bell I have been walking circles in the light Of every window where I wished you well I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left it on the doorstep in the rain I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Say nothing, just take it in again No need to answer, no need to call A small word is a small word, that is all I'll leave it here, I'll leave it here Soft as the rain, and just as clear I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left it on the doorstep in the rain I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Say nothing, just take it in again I'm sorry, I'm sorry Goodnight, goodnight
