remorse waltz

just like the cat when i just lay around

the dogs in the yard barking but i don't hear a sound

and the whistle at noon i can't tell when it rings

since you said goodbye well i don't hear a thing

so i followed you home the first couple of weeks

till that old truck broke down at the end of your street

and i know you don't care, it's a long walk back home

but i know it aint fair you don't say what went wrong

chorus: i wish you'd done something to just make me mad

something to lose track of the feelings i had

'cause i can't forget how i felt when you'd say

take me down to the river (x2), take me down to the river tonight

now i feel like a fool and i mumble your name

my friends all make fun, said they all had their way

and i thought there was something, but i was only your friend

i would have gave anything if we'd been more than that

and i can't deny the pleasure of sin

but i was looking for more than what you had to give

i know you don't mean to treat me unkind

'cause we're all only looking just to have a good time
