The Present 歌词

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 Hello there well ain't you gonna give One more present to your own false heart
