|
It's a shame that some must go without |
|
But I was no fool to think it might be my problem |
|
Needy hands were reaching out |
|
I kept my spare change and my pride in a tight fist |
|
In a tight fist |
|
And now at the last |
|
Everything is changed in this pale light |
|
That death has cast on all I've done |
|
On all I've done |
|
I'm a good man on the whole |
|
Who could blame me for looking out for number one? |
|
I never killed, I never stole |
|
A small indulgence now and then, so what of it? |
|
I'm a good man |
|
I'm a good man |
|
Am I a good man? |
|
I thought I was |
|
But the rewards of this life now count for naught |
|
My body, soon buried and left to rot |
|
The time's gone, how quickly it all has passed |
|
My God, now I see how I've squandered each and every breath |
|
Now at the last |
|
Everything is changed in this pale light |
|
That death has cast on all I've done |
|
On all I've done |
|
Now at the last |
|
Everything is changed in this pale light |
|
Looking back, I am undone |
|
I am undone |
