Mea Culpa

Was he with you at the railway

Did he cradle all your pain

Did he show to you the best way

To make it all right again

Now there was reason in your madness

You weighed your loss against my gain

If he was with you at the railway

Would you do it all again

Mea culpa

I can't stay here no longer

Mea, mea culpa

My time here is up

So goodbye, goodbye and good luck

Was he with you on that journey

When you could have still turned back

Did he reason with you sternly

Did he try to make your resolve crack

Did he hold the only candle

When your whole bright sky turned black

Was he with you at the railway

As you climbed onto the track

Mea culpa

I can't stay here no longer

Mea, mea culpa

My time here is up

So goodbye, goodbye and good luck

Did he guide you across the threshold?

Did he cup you in his hands?

Did he drink you down like water?

Or blow you into air like sand?

Is he standing right beside you?

Did it work out how you planned?

Is the sunlight shining on you?

Are we saved or are we damned?

Mea culpa

I can't stay here no longer

Mea, mea culpa

My time here is up

So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye and good luck
