Oh well
That was before
That was before
Oh well
That was before
Nothing that I can do now
That was before
And if eleven little children
Lay down on your doorstep
This very afternoon
Begging for your forgiveness
I'll bet you wouldn't bother
And if a flock of flying angels
Came down and they told you
That was before
Well I guess you
Guess you wouldn't holler
Oh well
That was before
That was before
Oh well
That was before
Nothing that I can do now
That was before
(Instrumental Strings and Piano)
And now
Those feelings past
Falling into that well
Where they all go
God knows
Wish that one would last
We feel
The empty scrape
Of what wasn't
And what could have been
What was
And what remains
But oh well
I wasn't there
We could've
And we should've
But we didn't
I wasn't there
Oh well
I didn't do
So let's close our eyes
And take a blink
And go on
How about you
How about you
How about you
How about you
How about you
How about you
Listen, baby
How about you
