I'm really sorry, |
|
StevenBut your bicycle's been stolen |
|
I was watchin' it for you 'til you came back in the fall |
|
I guess I didn't do such a good job after all |
|
I was feelin' really sorry |
|
StevenAnd |
|
I spent all morning grievin' |
|
And everybody's saying that you'll take the news gracefully |
|
Somehow I don't think |
|
I'll be gettin' off that easily |
|
I meant her no harm |
|
When I left her unlocked |
|
Outside the |
|
Orange Street food farm |
|
I was just runnin' in, didn't think |
|
I'd be that long |
|
I came out, she was gone |
|
And all that was there was some bored old dog |
|
Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been |
|
Guess we'll never see poor |
|
Madeleine again |
|
Let this be consolation, |
|
StevenThat all the while you were in |
|
EnglandI treated her with care and respect and gave her lots of love |
|
And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up |
|
And where has she gone? |
|
Well, I bet she's on the bottom |
|
Of a Frenchtown pond |
|
Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride |
|
So I wrote you this song |
|
In the hopes that you'd forgive me even though it was wrong |
|
Being so careless with a thing so great |
|
And taking your poor |
|
Madeleine away, away [Incomprehensible] |
