Absolution (10/25/2010) © 2010-2011 Don Rudnickas

1)
Never meant to make you cry, that tear that’s waiting in your eye
Should never fall while on my watch, that’s my only mission
It’s my fault I know it’s true, why you’re there just feeling blue
No alibi can get me past, this full admission

I’ve tried to stem the sorrow, even though I’ve had to borrow
A little magic here, that dances through the cool night air
I’ve tried to patch the bruises, even though the crowd accuses
Me of being wrong, that’s why I’m coming back so strong

Chorus:
Is there absolution in the air…
Will it help me climb up each and every stair
To get up high to where I want to be
With you and me together back again

2)
You and me we both know love, that’s all I’m ever thinking of
Every thought within my mind, has that only notion
For me to make you feel so sad, when all I ever want is glad
Is working hard against the flow of my true devotion

I’ve sent you my confession, and answered every question
That’s been opened wide, there’s nothing left for me to hide
I’ve built a bridge it’s scary, I know you must be wary
To start to dance, to hold my hand and take a chance

Chorus:

Instrumental

3)
Never meant to make you cry, that tear that’s waiting in your eye
Should never fall while on my watch, that’s my only mission
It’s my fault I know it’s true, why you’re there just feeling blue
No alibi can get me past, this full admission

I think of your expression, as I give you my confession
I hope it’s filled with love, I know it’s all I’m thinking of
I want to get right back where, I don’t need to use a good prayer
To open wide, and get up close back by your side

Chorus:
