Apology Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm really sorry, Steven But your bicycle's been stolen I was watchin' it for you, 'til you came back in the fall Guess I didn't do such a good job after all [Verse 2] I was feelin' really sorry, Steven And I spent all morning grievin' And everybody's sayin' that you'll take the news gracefully Somehow I don't think I'll be gettin' off that easily [Chorus] I meant her no harm When I left her unlocked outside the Orange Street Food Farm I was just runnin' in, didn't think I'd be that long I came out, she was gone And all that was there was some bored old dog Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] 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 lockin' her up [Chorus] Where has she gone? Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond Rudely abused on some hesher's joyride So I wrote you this song In the hopes that you'd forgive me even though it was wrong Bein' so careless with a thing so great And taking your poor Madeleine away, away [Outro] Away Oh-oh, ahhhh-oh
