Brendan James - Letter Of Apology lyrics

The clothes are on the line The cars are in the drive The meal is on the table The children play outside The streets are calm for now The town is smoking on The country, it's a fortress That's how this world goes round And so our day-to-day Is set in stone this way We rise, we work, we tire We've only so much strength So dear mother, there's no other One to ask forgiveness of you Sorry for what you've endured We know that our existence Has hurt you, it has hurt you Columbus will discover What someone had before A beauty like no other A reason to wage war And herein lies our problem What's mine is mine, not yours No matter what the consequence We will always want more So dear mother, there's no other One to ask forgiveness of you Sorry for what you've endured We know that our existence Has hurt you, it has hurt you You must think we are funny For you are so much older You must be waiting patiently To brush us off your shoulder
