Well, I had the chance to love you both day and night
I had the chance, but I did not treat you right
And oh my soul, once lost, cannot be retrieved
And oh Lord, what's wrong with me?

But I watch the clock go crawling on in defeat
You took your time, but I stole it like a thief
And oh my soul was lost, can never be retrieved
And oh Lord, what's wrong with me?

Well, I'd be a fool to say "Love will set you free"
I'm just a fool today, so lost in your memory
Well, I'm just like a sailor who's lost out in the sea
And oh Lord, what's wrong with me?

Well, I had the chance to be shining out in the sun
I had my day, but it seems that day is run
And oh my soul, once lost, can never retrieved
And oh Lord, what's wrong with me?
Well oh Lord, what's wrong with me?
