image A Wretched Sinner’s Song I made up a song for you to find on your machine about how you blush when you’re sleeping. I'm not saying it's the finest anybody ever wrote, it's just the best I could do tonight. Back in the days when prayer still worked we walked three times round the lake, remember? …. And it felt good, I didn't feel like me at all, I broke a stick and startled birds took off. I felt like the fool they made king for the day, you said the houses hung with lights looked so pretty. A horse shivered in a field full of fallen leaves. Back at the car you said starting things was easy. And wretched sinner that I am I took you in my arms, as the wind blew sleet against the windscreen. There’s a lost dog running loose on the dual-carriageway And a kid scattering the pigeons, And close by Cosy Bend I thought of you again And I wondered if you’d listened to my song yet? [ Back ]
