I Forgive Me

I forgive myself for loving you
It is something I could not help but do
I'll forgive myself for believing lies
For being enchanted by your sweet guise

Two summers now you've ruined for me
Two innocents I've slain for ye
One broken heart, one trying to mend
Will sleep better after the mail I send

Though I forgive myself these sins
And live with hope for fun and grins
I still feel pain for such a loss
The purchase paid at too high cost

My heart I gave to you is gone
Stolen, crushed and stomped upon
Until the funeral is over
'til all we had is under clover

I'll bury that love under a stone
And weep, and not be all alone
Another one will weep with me
Another one who cannot see

Why in the world I should allow
Your lies to wrinkle up my brow
Stay in your wasteland of heat and rain
And don't you call my house again

There's hope and joy and love today
We've nothing more to say
