Ancient Story

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Laid my cards on the table

So she could see the light

My efforts went wasted

Due to fallen night

And I know

But by the end of the evening

I was in no doubt

Of all of the things

That you could live without

And I know

I drag up ancient history

Hope that they'll forgive me

They had nothing but ego's

But they would multiply

All the reasons that I would try

That I know

To be making it harder to be seen but oh

Is it too much to ask for to be left alone?

Yeah I know

I drag up ancient history

Hope that they'll forgive me

Laid my cards on the table

So she could see the light

My efforts went wasted

Due to fallen night

And I know

I drag up ancient history

Hope that they'll forgive me
