Counted On Sweetness The Wrens

"I was born too soon", that's how my grave will read
Lived to 35 but died at 17
It took an hour or so to reach the border as planned
A few miles from here I would never know

[Chorus A]
I'll confess what I've done in time
(It's time, I'll confess what I've done)
Lived through worse and never cared for anyone
They never seemed to mind for me
(It's time, never seemed to mind)
I left before they ever noticed I was gone

It's the facts blood knows laid out in front of you
Tied up in foolish news waiting for a view
In walked the left to lose / chained to please a few
I wonder who they'll choose / I wonder who

[Chorus A]

And all the time I've been waiting by them
Look at them they can't find me

In whispered to my ear, "what do you do until then"
Dream all you want my dear, it's a fitting end
