Sorry My Mistake
Elliott Smith · Other Songs - Elliott Smith
The frozen tear melted here
The flood the man made lake
I didnt mean to make
? ? ? ?
Fury rouge
That caused the earth to quake
Convindence to shake
Sorry my mistake
The sun rose high
And went screaming by and the
Moons invade the scene
Silent and serene
While ? ? ?
Around broken bones
Safe for heaven's sake
What an obvious mistake
Earth? came back down while
I was sewing up my stich
Dreaming in the ditch so
Sick of my sweet self and
Everything I made
The friendly flare
Flash midair
I was a twinkle in your eye
A smoke sign in sky
I feel in deep
In love asleep
Looking wide awake
Like a wave before the? break
Sorry my mistake
The flood the man made lake
I didnt mean to make
? ? ? ?
Fury rouge
That caused the earth to quake
Convindence to shake
Sorry my mistake
The sun rose high
And went screaming by and the
Moons invade the scene
Silent and serene
While ? ? ?
Around broken bones
Safe for heaven's sake
What an obvious mistake
Earth? came back down while
I was sewing up my stich
Dreaming in the ditch so
Sick of my sweet self and
Everything I made
The friendly flare
Flash midair
I was a twinkle in your eye
A smoke sign in sky
I feel in deep
In love asleep
Looking wide awake
Like a wave before the? break
Sorry my mistake
