Forgive Me

Lately I've been sleeping with a bottle of gin And laughing at all the things that I have seen now I'm older and the stream's running thin I'm left with nothing but my own grin Forgive me mother for I have sinned Forgive me mother for I have sinned Forgive me Walked the streets with a heart full of hope The city was cruel, she never let me cope I gave her everything, she even took more Left me with nothing but a broken score Forgive me for this slippery slope Forgive me for this slippery slope Forgive me As the sun sets I'll lay my head Down
