Sorry

When your time on the mountain is over
 And you fall to the earth like a leaf
 It won't be enough these days to say sorry
 Sorry won't pay for this grief
 Chor.:
 You may lay down your guilt on the altar
 Nail your remorse to the cross
 But it's not enough these days to say sorry
 Sorry won't pay for this loss
 And if the blood on your hands turns to water
 And the night in your soul turns to day
 It won't be enough this time to say sorry
 Sorry won't wash it all away
 (Chor.)
 When you're through with the spells you've been spinning
 And your hopes and your dreams have all died
 It won't be enough these days to say sorry
 Sorry won't turn back the tide
 (Chor.)
 And if you should desist from deceiving
 And if you should confess to the crime
 It won't be enough these days to say sorry
 No, no, sorry won't save you this time
 (Chor.)
