Mark E Nevin
MCA Music Ltd
"My dear friend Mark Nevin asked me to sing this song on an album of guest singers that he was planning after the break up of his band 'Fairground Attraction' with Eddi Reader. We demoed the song at his house and then shortly after on the night that his son Wesley was born (November 7th 1990) he asked me to sing the whole album. The greatest gift any singer can receive is a song and I feel privileged to have worked with someone so profoundly talented". BK
Pride rides before a fall
And oh, how you have fallen
Two words could have saved it all
But your lips could not form them
Did you never say the words ‘I’m sorry’
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness. Forgiveness
We shared a rare and precious love
But now the spell is broken
Deep down you know, you surely must
It’s all because of words unspoken
No you’ve never said the words ‘I’m sorry’
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness. Forgiveness.
I didn’t want to win a war
I just longed to be your friend
If you’d just said what I was waiting for
We could have started all over again
Because regrets, oh they’re nothing new
But still, they’re hard to swallow
So don’t pretend you don’t know the truth
A life like that is sad and hollow
So if you ever say the words ‘I’m sorry’
And know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness
Then I’m sorry too.
