lirik lagu hem – the present (burying songs cycle version)
(dan messe)
when i saw him by the river
he just smiled and closed his eyes
he said you know that you’re gonna give her
one more present – one more lie
i didn’t see him for a while then
though i heard his name around
so i walked down a hundred miles when
on that iron bridge it was him i found
i said you know that i have wandered
by the dust here on my feet
for every present 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 i’ve done
i just come here to see how you are
maybe see how i’ve become
well he lay there on that iron bridge
where the earth and the waters part
he said h-llo there well ain’t you gonna give
