One Truth Among My Lies

I was almost shaking when I left them behind I was almost falling to my knees I can honestly tell you that I’ve never been kind and I sure don’t deserve sympathy no I sure don’t deserve sympathy When I see those rivers winding down to the coast When I see those people who are there I can honestly tell you that I feel like a ghost and I sure don’t deserve what is fair no I sure don’t deserve what is fair Have you seen my children’s home? Have you seen my lover’s eyes? Could you roll away my stone and let me have one truth among my lies? And let me have one truth among my lies? I was far away when I stopped for a breath I was far away from what is sweet I can honestly tell you that I’ll lie to my death and I’ll leave what I’ve done incomplete I will leave what I’ve done incomplete Peter White © March 17, 2008, All Rights Reserved.
