At Risk of Embarrassing Myself

Said the locksmith to the keyhole

I know, I know, I know

Said the preacher to the wise man

I know, I know, I know

Said the martyr to the dead one

I know, I know, I know

Said the last soul to the devil

I know, I know, I know

So you're laughing

And you're shaking

I know, I know, I know

And the light of

Day is fading

I know, I know, I know

Now your first thought

Is elating

I know, I know, I know

So I sit by

And I make due

I've been cut short

Missing from you

All the years of

Silent comfort

I'll be waiting

I'll be stating

But the miles

And the whiles

Will resent me

Stagger gently

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I know
