lyrics

Forgiveness
Words and Music by Vicki Fraser © 2021


go further into the man
who closes off the world
and waits for the routine to end
he doesn't know
what to do or what to say
so he turns and walks away

forgiveness, bending with the wind
forgiveness, in the end it will begin

maybe time warps the truth to be
a discount value memory
a cold wind blows
as the hard years fade
we learn to talk about
why we are afraid

forgiveness, it can't be any other way
forgiveness, learn to love and then walk away

all the years have brought out your eyes
the eyes that have learned
to read between my lives
like two trains burning down the track
full steam ahead and
don't look back

forgiveness, for the cradle to the stone
forgiveness, for all that you have shown
