Forgiven Lyrics

Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians Forgiven

Way back when we were young
We're still the same here now under the sun
Basket full of easter grass
A little boy runs along the path to find
Mercy in the hearts of souls
Who never had no mercy shown to them

When you sing ooh, when you sing ooh
Will you please forgive me
When you sing ooh, when you sing ooh
I want to be forgiven

A vacant engineer rides on a train
Of thought that will now take him home
And waving from the windows is the innocence
That has no place to go
A boomerang of birds flies high
Over your head and I look to the sky

When you sing ooh, when you sing ooh
Will you please forgive me
When you sing ooh, when you sing ooh
I want to be forgiven

Given another chance to show you I love
Another chance to show you I feel
Another chance to show you I love
Another chance to show you I feel

Here I am like I always was
Here I am like I'll always will be
Here I am like I always was
Here I am like I'll always be forgiven
