Paroles de Apology Song

I'm really sorry, Steven, but your bicycle's been stolen I was watching it for you till you came back in the fall I guess I didn't do such a good job after all I was feeling really sorry, Steven, and I spent all morning grieving And everybody's saying that you'll take the news gracefully Somehow, I don't think I'll be getting off that easily I meant her no harm when I left her unlocked outside the Orange Street Food Farm I was just running in, didn't think I'd be that long I came back, she was gone and all that was there was some bored old dog Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been I guess we'll never see poor Madelline again Let this be consolation, Steven, that all the while you were in England I treated her with care and respect and gave her lots of love And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up. Where has she gone? Well, I bet she's on the bottom of the French Town Pond, rudely abused on some heshner's joy ride So I wrote you this song in the hopes that you'd forgive me even though it was wrong Being so careless with a thing so great and taking your poor Madeline away
