Apology Song

I'm really sorry,

StevenBut your bicycle's been stolen

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

I guess I didn't do such a good job after all

I was feelin' really sorry

StevenAnd

I spent all morning grievin'

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

Somehow I don't think

I'll be gettin' off that easily

I meant her no harm

When I left her unlocked

Outside the

Orange Street food farm

I was just runnin' 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

Let this be consolation,

StevenThat all the while you were in

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

And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up

And where has she gone?

Well, I bet she's on the bottom

Of a Frenchtown pond

Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride

So I wrote you this song

In the hopes that you'd forgive me even though it was wrong

Being so careless with a thing so great

And taking your poor

Madeleine away, away [Incomprehensible]
