Forgiveness

Found a quarter on the sidewalk

A love letter in a shoebox

I found a snake underneath a rock

Wish I could find forgiveness

A sand dollar on the seashore

An old dresser in an antique store

A rusty whistle in the bottom drawer

Wish I could find forgiveness

It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf

Or lying in the bed of someone else

I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew

But one sleepless night it dawned on me

The peace I need so desperately

Is buried in the one place I can't get to

Girl it's gotta come from you

Was too stubborn for my own good

I never listened like I knew I should

I don't deserve it but I wish you would

Find me some forgiveness

For every night I wasn't there

For all the times I didn't care

I admit that it was never fair

Wish I could find forgiveness

It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf

Or lying in the bed of someone else

I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew

But one sleepless night it dawned on me

The peace I need so desperately

Is buried in the one place I can't get to

Girl it's gotta come from you

I've seen a broom run across a floor

Talking with it what was there before

And that's the kind of clean I came here looking for

It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf

Or lying in the bed of someone else

I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew

But one sleepless night it dawned on me

The peace I need so desperately

Is buried in the one place I can't get to

Girl it's gotta come from you

Wish I could find forgiveness
