MY FAULTS
It's my fault, I'm just imperfect,
Thus the righteous pulls me down.
It's my fault, my love is perfect,
Thus my heart is oft knocked down
It's my fault, I care and mingle,
Thus any Tom wants the dinner.
It's my fault, I am still single,
Thus to all, I'm just a sinner.
No one cares about the mood,
Or the truth would like to know.
All they want are nails and rood,
To hang the gaff and make a show.
If you came to save a sinner,
Then rescue me from the sly.
If my beards were long and thinner,
Then your feet, I'd wash and dry.
Thus the righteous pulls me down.
It's my fault, my love is perfect,
Thus my heart is oft knocked down
It's my fault, I care and mingle,
Thus any Tom wants the dinner.
It's my fault, I am still single,
Thus to all, I'm just a sinner.
No one cares about the mood,
Or the truth would like to know.
All they want are nails and rood,
To hang the gaff and make a show.
If you came to save a sinner,
Then rescue me from the sly.
If my beards were long and thinner,
Then your feet, I'd wash and dry.
