Eddie From Ohio - Abraham lyrics

I have regrets, and most I can forget But one stays with me like an arm No matter where I am I feel like Abraham I put my blade inside its sheath, And find it's not a bluff The only thing I've learned From one time being burned It can only be a lesson learned If you get a second chance To take a different stance I blew my one and only chance And once was not enough A holy shepherd near the Dawn of Man Has his faith put to the test To prove his strength To prove his grace and love The fastest angel is sent from high Keeps the knife from his son's chest He said, "That'll do" (that'll do) "That'll do" (that'll do) That'll do Well how do you prove love? Or what a man's made of? I don't make these ambitions mine I just want him to know God I miss him so I kiss his portrait by my bed And sleep with his old stuff I have regrets, and most I can forget But one stays with me like an arm No matter where I am I feel like Abraham I put the blade inside its sheath, And wish it were a bluff This Abe has had enough
