Excuses - Bibio
How was I
Supposed to know
You didn't tell me
They were gold
I didn't smell
The coming snow
And now they're ruined
By the cold
How was I
Supposed to share
You didn't tell me
They were fair
I didn't see them going spare
And now they're buried over there
How was I supposed to see
You didn't tell me they were free
I didn't hear the falling leaves
And now they're rotting underneath
How was I to have a clue
You didn't tell me they were new no
I didn't kneel upon the pew
And now it's hard to tell the truth
