[00:00.10] If i have the space of half a day,
[00:06.37] I'm ashamed of half the things I say.
[00:10.35] I'm ashamed to have turned out this way,
[00:16.94] and i desire to make amends:
[00:22.57] But it don't make no difference now,
[00:26.27] and no one's listening anyhow,
[00:29.64] and lists of sins and solemn vows
[00:36.07] don't make you any friends.
[00:41.65] There's an old trick played,
[00:42.88] when the light and the wine conspire
[00:45.91] to make me think I'm fine.
[00:48.50] I'm not, but i have got half a mind
[00:54.85] to maybe get there yet.
[00:59.82] When the sky goes pink in Paris, France,
[01:03.79] do you think of the girl who used to dance
[01:07.29] when you'd frame her moving within your hands,
[01:13.60] saying This I won't forget?
[01:18.96] What happened to the man you were,
[01:22.47] when you loved somebody before her?
[01:26.25] Did he die?
[01:27.46] Or does that man endure, somewhere far away?
[01:37.69] Our lived come easy and our lives come hard.
[01:41.51] We carry them like a pack of cards:
[01:45.28] some we don't use but we don't discard,
[01:51.29] but keep for a rainy day
