Sorry - Seinabo Sey, Le Boeuf

Flowers in my garden

Die faster than they grow

Slowly as they wither

I reap the seeds I sow

I have felt the wind blow

Like fire and like snow

But only shame can conquer time

And guilt should know

Be wise enough to wonder

Be brave and let it go

Nothing’s everlasting

Have mercy on my soul

Wrong when told the right way

Might make you string your bow

When all these clouds are full of sin

And rain should know

Heaven keep the lonely

You are not the only

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I, I

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I

No rest for the wicked

Seek and you will find

Silence is the symphony

I trust and keep in mind

Shadows have the habit

Of making demons glow

And all these clouds are full of sin

And rain should know

Heaven keep the lonely

I am not the only

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I, I

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I cry

Have these leaves of gold

Give me back my soul

I know

No matter what

I can’t stay on my knees

Heaven help me please

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I, I

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence, I, I

I heard you’re feeling sorry for yourself now

Like tears from a nice silence I cry

I cry
