(Dan Messe)



When I saw him by the river

He just smiled and closed his eyes

He said you know that you've got to give her

One more chance - one more lie



I didn't see him for a while then

But I heard his name around

So I walked a hundred miles when

On that iron bridge it was him I found



He said you know that I have wandered

By these blood stains on my feet

For all the presents that I have squandered

On every false heart that I meet



But I can't take back what I gave them

No, I can't make right what I've made wrong

I can't pretend that I tried to save them

When they were drowning in my song



So I don't come here for a new scar

For to cover the things that I have done

No, I just come here to see how you are

Maybe see how I've become



Well he just lay there on that iron bridge

Kicking rust off and pulling it apart

He said hello there ain't you gonna give
