This Night

There are things,

I have done.

There's a place,

I have gone.

There's a beast,

And I let it run.

Now it's runnin' my way.

There are things,

I regret.

That you can't forgive.

You can't forget.

There's a gift,

That you sent.

You sent it my way.

So, take this night.

Wrap it around me like a sheet.

I know I'm not forgiven,

But I need a place to sleep.

So, take this night.

Lay me down on the street.

I know I'm not forgiven,

But I hope that I'll be given

Some peace.

There's a game,

That I played.

There are rules,

I had to break.

There's mistakes,

That are made.

But I made 'em my way.

So, take this night.

Wrap it around me like a sheet.

I know I'm not forgiven,

But I need a place to sleep.

So, take this night.

Lay me down on the street.

I know I'm not forgiven,

But I hope that I'll be given

Some peace.

Some peace.

Some peace.
