    Lyrics
    Poet’s Absolution
    CP 2000 Hugh McGowan
    I can’t continue this
    Taking all that you give me
    It’s a strain on my love for you

    I scattered all the cards
    Just to stay here at the table
    It’s bittersweet
    But the sweetest I’ve seen

    ‘Cause I thought I’d be the lonely one
    ‘Till my corner came around the sun
    And the light slipped past the shade
    And lined the curves of your parade

    I’ve been dealt into a game
    And my hands have come to danger
    Of somehow matching in a manner
    That might give my sleeves away

    And my books have all been opened
    And my accountant’s losing balance
    So I’ll sell it all….save my soul

    ‘Cause I thought I was the only one
    ‘Till my corner came around the sun
    And the light shined ‘cross the blade and through the cracks in my charade

    And balanced on the wire
    I walk a fine line through the fire
    Hoping all the while
    That I could make you smile sweetly

    I’ve resisted all the rules
    Governing this game’s direction
    And now I find myself out of play

    So again I turn to this
    Another poet’s absolution
    As if I can write it down
    And make it go away
