Apology Song The Decemberists

[Verse 1]

I'm really sorry, Steven

But your bicycle's been stolen

I was watching it for you 'til you came back in the fall

Guess I didn't do a good job after all

[Verse 2]

I was feeling really sorry, Steven

And I spent all morning grieving

And everybody's saying that you'll take the news gracefully

Somehow I don't think I'll get off that easily

[Chorus 1]

I meant her no harm

When I left her unlocked outside the Orange Street Food Farm

I was just running in, didn't think I'd be that long

I came out, she was gone

And all that was there was some bored old dog

Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been

Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again

[Verse 3]

Let this be consolation, Steven

That all the while you were in England

I treated her with care and respect and gave her lots of love

And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up
