Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
I found out it was a mistake to leave.

I'm Sorry

by HarryT


I grew up overshadowed by mountains
There I was devoted to you, my Susie girl
Loved the way you look with your raven hair
Can't believe I let a hankering cloud my eye

Where the deep rivers run
And wild mountains surround
Rode in my truck, you by my side,

A whisper in the evening breeze
Reminding me of our tender times
That whisper builds
That whisper cries
Regretting my lies

You appear on the purple horizon
Brushing your raven hair from your eyes

The city may have its fancy girls
With cement rivers like grey ribbons
Don't have nothin' on our way of life
Just listen to the flow of our river

Won’t live my life like a cheat anymore
Sorry, I wanted to leave and cheat before
But ain’t no way to lead a life no more

You know, there's a lot I have driven by
I know I’ve been messing up
I know I love you, my Susie girl
I know you are the only one

In the city, I met a wise man
He said, “Don't live your life like a cheat.”
I confessed I was living life like a cheat
He was right, ain't no way to lead a life

I come to you, Susie, on bended knee
I’ll mend my ways, I promise, Susie
Please, come back, come back to me.
