Richard Roberts - Excuses lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro: Dean Stockwell, from documentary "Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer"] A fragment of time Which is not recorded There is a moment of darkness
